REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM
To His Honour
The Lieutenant Governor in Council
This is my report on the last year of my stewardship as chair¬
man of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Ontario Museum.
The year 1988/1989 was both demanding and exciting for staff,
management, and the Board of Trustees.
The Museum’s major problem continues to be money. The
combination of the wages and benefits given to the staff over
the past five years, to bring them up to market rates, and the
government restraint program has made the balancing of the
operating budget extremely difficult. Management has wrestled
with this problem manfully. This year the ROM again suc¬
ceeded in showing a slight operating surplus, although the
efforts to achieve this seriously impaired the quality of the
Museum’s operation and left harmful gaps in its academic
establishment and in the goods and services budget. Indeed,
the balancing of the budget was only achieved through stren¬
uous and, fortunately, successful efforts to increase Museum¬
generated funds through attendance, shop sales, sponsorships,
and other user charges.
The comparatively larger capital and operating budgets of
Canada’s national museums, who do not have the same kind
of staff, collections, or research and educational programs
as the ROM, makes all of us in this institution wonder about
the federal government’s policy to support museums across
the country. Indeed, the ROM’s annual operating grant from
the federal government is much less than one per cent of the
Museum’s budget. The capital grant to the Expansion Cam¬
paign and the Gallery Development Campaign together was
approximately five per cent — pretty poor pickings for an insti¬
tution of the ROM’s international stature, when the private
sector gave almost thirty per cent and your government over
sixty per cent.
What must be understood in Canada by the public and all
levels of government is that, in this country, the ROM is unique.
Its collections and its scholars and professional staff have given
it an international standing enjoyed by only a very few Canadian
cultural and educational institutions. It is for this reason that
we at the Museum have appropriated for the ROM the title
“Canada’s International Museum.”
Enough of this whining. Let me turn to more pleasant areas,
for many other cultural, scientific, and educational institutions
have similar monetary complaints, although the ROM remains
the only institution in Canada where all three fields are covered
by one institution to any substantial degree. A review of the
year on the whole establishes that it has been a successful one
for the Museum. The scope of the public programs, academic
research, and exhibitions is clearly set out in the individual
department reports and shows the constantly increasing
breadth of activity in every aspect of the work at this institution.
It is of particular importance that your government as well as
the public have a full understanding of the many interlocking
activities at the Museum.
After months of work by Dr. T. Cuyler Young, Jr., director,
and by senior management, who consulted thoroughly with
Museum staff, the Board of Trustees recently approved a stra¬
tegic plan. I am forwarding a copy of this plan with this report
to the responsible minister, in the belief that it will assist in
providing a better understanding of the Museum’s long- and
medium-range objectives.
The Board and senior management are determined to ex¬
pand the scope of the Museum’s studies and research and to
start filling the gaps to which I have referred. In the latter part
of this year, the Institute of Contemporary Cultures was estab¬
lished, one of the most important steps in recent ROM history.
The scope of the scholarship and the supporting personnel
Mr. Edwin A. Goodman, chairman of
the Board of Trustees.
4 / Chairman 's Report
will be announced by my successor in the very near future, but
I am confident that this courageous step on the Museum’s part
will make an important contribution to Canadian knowledge
of modern cultural and social history.
On the scientific side of the institution, the ROM began an
equally important and interesting venture. At the request of
several of the curators, the Museum established the Institute
of Cooperative Arctic and Subarctic Studies. At the present
time, eight departments of the ROM are carrying out studies
that include the Arctic and the Subarctic regions. Your Board
believes that this is an appropriate time in world history for
Canada to increase its cooperation with other Arctic nations,
including the Soviet Union, the Scandinavian countries, and
the United States. The ROM is already endeavouring to in¬
crease cooperation with the Soviet Union both in the north
and elsewhere.
The decision to make another historic change at the Mu¬
seum was made in the latter pan of the year. The ROM has
tentatively agreed to transfer to the University of Toronto its
perpetual lease to the Sigmund Samuel Building, which houses
the Canadiana collection and the Canadian Decorative Arts De¬
partment, as well as the Department of Botany. This magnifi¬
cent building requires very large expeditures in order for it to
continue as a museum, because of the ROM’s conservation
standards. The Sigmund Samuel Building’s location on Queen’s
Park Crescent, away from the main building, discourages the
public from visiting the displays there, but suits the University’s
needs as it is adjacent to the campus. It is our intention to use
the area under the McLaughlin Planetarium and the main build¬
ing to provide space in the main building for the Sigmund
Samuel Canadiana collection and the other Canadian decora¬
tive arts objects, as well as the Institute of Contemporary Cul¬
tures. The details of the financing will be announced very
shortly.
The past year and the first part of this coming year have
seen notable acceleration in the installation of the permanent
galleries and the special and temporary exhibitions. After al¬
most a decade of disappointments, the Board is confident that
the ROM now has control of the gallery installation process
and is producing exhibits of ever-increasing quality. It is diffi¬
cult to comprehend how challenging and creatively formidable
a task it is to install the entire galleries program for a museum
that covers the worlds of culture and science, all within a pe¬
riod of roughly twelve years.
It is with our long-range plans to raise the public profile of
the Museum as both an educational and an entertainment
centre that we have enjoyed the most success. This year com¬
petition for public attendance continued to increase in the
Metropolitan Toronto area, and all institutions suffered. Al¬
though attendance at the ROM fell slightly under projected
figures, some records were still set. These can be attributed to
extraordinary efforts by the Development and Membership and
the Public Programs divisions.
Two contemporaneous major cycling events, the ROM Clas¬
sic and the Tour of Toronto, were added to the Run for the
ROM, creating the ROM Challenge. These events saw well
over three thousand cyclists, in addition to the more than two
thousand runners raising monies to keep the ROM in the fore¬
front of North American museums. In addition, the members’
gift clubs and individual members contributed substantially to
the Future Fund Today — ROM Endowment and gallery devel¬
opment.
This year marks the end of Dr. David Barr’s term as associate
director, curatorial. He rendered inestimable service to the
ROM and merits the thanks both of the government and of the
people of Ontario. He certainly earned the respect of all of the
members of the Board of Trustees. He will be succeeded by
Dr. John McNeill, who is leaving his post as the Regius keeper
of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, Scotland, to assume
this position. The Museum is most fortunate in obtaining the
services of Dr. McNeill, and he will give leadership to the
academic side of the Museum, as he has in Scotland and prior
to that at the University of Ottawa.
In completing this report to you, I would like to express my
appreciation to all of the members of the Board of Trustees
for their cooperation and advice and leadership in many fields.
In particular, it is unfortunate that at the same time as I retire,
my deputy chairman, Joan Thompson, will be retiring. She is
entitled to a great deal of the credit for any success that I have
enjoyed. Nicole Eaton, who was chairman of the committees
in the fields of membership and development, and Joseph Gar¬
wood, the chairman of the Finance Committee, are also sta-
tutorially barred from continuing. Each of these people have
assured Thomas E. Kierans, the incoming chairman of the
Board of Trustees, that they will continue to serve the Board
wherever possible. The Board has appointed Mrs. Eaton chair¬
man of the new Institute of Contemporary Cultures and Mrs.
Thompson chairman of the Expansion Committee.
It is a source of great pride to me that Mr. Kierans has agreed
to succeed me as chairman. I regard it as a great compliment
to the Museum that a person of his stature and creative mind
and leadership ability is my successor. He will be ably assisted
by Dorothy Dunlop, the new deputy chairman. Mrs. Dunlop
has already demonstrated a wide knowledge of the Museum
and great executive ability in the series of positions that she
has held here.
In conclusion, I want to express my personal appreciation
to Dr. Young and all of senior management for the loyalty and
advice and assistance they gave to me. While it is unfair to
single out any individuals for thanks, I would be remiss if I did
not express my special appreciation to Robert Howard, assis¬
tant director, development and membership, and Robert
Barnett, secretary of the Board of Trustees, with whom I
worked on an almost daily basis.

Chairman ’s Report / 5
I REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR TO
I THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The year 1988/1989 was a difficult, indeed hard, one for the
Museum — but not without its rewards and successes.
At the risk of repeating points made eloquently elsewhere
in this report, I must begin with two major hardships that the
Museum confronted and continues to confront. Money is, of
course, at the root of it all. The annual operating budget, even
though the ROM has made great strides in self-generated rev¬
enue, remains woefully inadequate. At the beginning of the
year just passed the Museum had something on the order of
a million-dollar structural shortfall in the operating budget. In
an effort to address that problem at least partially, a total of
thirty positions were cut from the Museum’s complement, and
unfortunately only twenty-four of them were vacant. Thus for
the first time in its history (to the best of my knowledge) the
Museum had to lay off people in order to balance the budget.
The cancellation of thirty positions is in itself extremely painful,
but the stresses and strains placed on an active and creative
staff by such a decline in resources are a continuing dilemma.
Then, beginning in February 1989, general attendance began
a steady decline, which has continued well past the end of the
1988/1989 fiscal year. This fall-off in attendance has meant a
drop in revenue for the operating budget, which, when pro¬
jected to the end of the 1989/1990 fiscal year, will amount to
approximately a million-dollar shortfall. It is no consolation to
know that a similar decline in attendance is being experienced
by all comparable institutions from central Canada to Halifax
and down the east coast of the United States as far as New
York. As the Board well knows, sixty-six per cent of the Mu¬
seum’s attendance in the summer months comes from tourists
(individuals who live more than 100 km from Toronto), and
for the year as a whole forty-four per cent of its attendance
comes from tourism. Apparently, beginning in mid-winter last,

a great many people, for whatever reason, stayed home.
In my judgement, the staff of the Museum deserves high
praise for sustaining a level of morale that is quite remarkable
given these difficult circumstances.
Leaving the subject of fiscal problems, let me turn to some
of the positive, exciting, and encouraging developments of the
past year. It has been a particularly busy year, and once again
I can specifically mention only what, given my own prejudices,
strike me as the highlights of our efforts.
The Strategic Plan, on which I spoke at some length in last
year’s report, was completed in December and approved at
the February Board meeting. Many people in the Museum com¬
munity learned a great deal in the process of strategic planning,
and I am sure that if we had the exercise to do over from
scratch we would do it differently and with a better product.
Nevertheless, the plan, in my judgement, is sound in most of
what it calls for, and, where it is weak, regular annual review
will provide opportunities to make it better and correct mis¬
takes. Implementation of the plan is moving steadily ahead,
although, given the ROM’s financial difficulties, those aspects
of the plan that require significant further expenditures have
had to be put on hold. The shifting of the Preparators De¬
partment from the Curatorial Division to the Exhibits Division
and the creation of a new Programs Department within the
Public Programs Division, separate from the Public Relations
Department, are the two most important changes that took
place this year as a direct result of strategic planning.
Towards the end of this year the review of all Museum jobs
in the OPSEU bargaining unit was completed, a commitment
made by the Museum to its OPSEU employees in the process
of bringing to a close the 1985 strike. This task required a great
deal of time and effort from management and staff, who
6 / Director’s Report
worked together in a joint committee on the review. Job de¬
scriptions for almost half of the employees at the ROM were
completely revised and rewritten, and each job was rated and
ranked against all other jobs within the bargaining unit. As
Nancy Hood, assistant director, human resources, mentions in
her report, this puts the Museum in a highly favourable posi¬
tion when it comes to addressing the question of pay equity —
something it must do by January of 1990. My congratulations
to all who participated in this process; thank you for a job well
done.
In 1988/1989 there were no new gallery openings. As the
Board knows, this does not mean that the Gallery Develop¬
ment Project was not moving ahead at full speed throughout
the year. Beginning with the anticipated opening of the first
phase of the Samuel European Galleries in the autumn of 1989,
the Museum anticipates the opening of two significant “per¬
manent” galleries each year into the middle of the next decade.
Beyond their work on permanent galleries, staff were once
again deeply involved in special and temporary exhibitions.
Two major special exhibitions were mounted in Garfield Wes¬
ton Exhibition Hall, and five smaller temporaiy exhibitions
were available to the public during the year in other display
spaces within the Museum. The exhibition Dinosaurs Past and
Present , which was accompanied by a great deal of imaginative
programming, was both an educational and fiscal success. In¬
deed, without it the declining attendance that I noted earlier
would have had an even more severe impact on the ROM’s
financial situation than it did. It is clear: dinosaurs are popular
and people will respond to them however you present them.
(Quite candidly, the basic exhibition, which the Museum took
as a packaged show, was not up to the high standards set for
the museum world by the ROM.)
The second major exhibition of the year, Let’s Play Ball, was
controversial, but in my judgement was an educational success.
There are many in the community who object to the Museum
beginning, in an experimental and hesitant way, to try and
address issues related to current culture. Baseball in North
America, as the exhibition made clear, is of course not just a
current event. The game has been played for over a hundred
years, and it is both a part of the present and a part of history.
In challenging one critic of the exhibition I observed that, if
the ROM had put on a special exhibition about games played
in the Roman Colosseum, he would have thought it entirely
appropriate. He would also have though it suitable for the
Museum to put on an exhibition of contemporary Inuit culture
in Canada. So the critic had nothing against games in a mu¬
seum exhibit and nothing against a museum’s treating contem¬
porary cultures. What he could not grasp was the validity of
the ROM mounting an exhibition on a game that relates directly
to modern mainstream culture.
Given the sharp decline in attendance that began in Febru¬
ary, we lack the statistical data necessary to compare and meas¬
ure the success of Let’s Play Ball against other major special
exhibitions. I am, however, convinced that its educational suc¬
cess cannot be questioned. One day I was standing in front of
the segment of the exhibition that addressed the question of
blacks in baseball, and I overheard a father and three children
discussing together the question of segregation in baseball.
Neither the father nor the three children had ever heard of
Jackie Robinson. None of them was aware that segregation had
ever been an issue in baseball. Now I suggest that the Museum
performs its role as an educational institution in providing that
key bit of knowledge about baseball just as much as it does
when it places before the public some glory of Old Kingdom
Egypt. As I argued in an earlier report to the Board, this insti¬
tution’s success cannot be measured entirely in numbers. The
quality and depth of its impact on the community is equally
important.
Of the five temporary exhibitions that were mounted in the
past year, the one that most caught my attention was Truth
and Beauty: Neo-classicism in the Decorative Arts. That ex¬
hibition placed before the public many of the treasures in the
European Department’s collections. Not only were the objects
themselves strong, but their presentation was powerful. Costs
were kept down by reusing the cases that had been designed
for the netsuke exhibition of the previous year, and congrat¬
ulations are due to all involved for the imaginative way in which
resources were recycled. Public response to the exhibition was
positive, and the more traditional museum-going public should
be, as a result of this exhibition, reassured that while the Mu¬
seum intends to forge ahead in addressing subjects such as
were confronted in Let’s Play Ball, it has no intention of giving
up its attempts to educate the public in time-honoured mu¬
seum ways.
As a result of the outstanding generosity of the Eaton Foun¬
dation, the John David and Signy Eaton Court was opened this
year. This space, an extension northwards of the old northeast
atrium, provides the Museum with an enviable public program¬
ming facility that can be used for a variety of both educational
and revenue-generating events. On the one hand, it is a per¬
manent space perfectly suited to important functions such as
the Lieutenant Governor’s Dinner, and, on the other hand, it
is equally suited to a variety of educational programs. Future
generations of Museum goers will be indebted, as we are, for
such generosity.
The ROM Reproductions Shop, created out of the vision and
the willingness to take financial risks of the Members’ Volun¬
teer Committee, is one of the outstanding accomplishments of
the year just passed. Not only does it support the Museum’s
educational objectives by making available to a wide public
daily enjoyment in their homes of the Museum’s collections,
this year it also became an important new source of revenue
for the Museum. Profits made by the Reproductions Shop not
only help the overall budget of the Museum, they also contrib¬
ute directly to the enhancement of the collections by providing
acquisitions monies for participating curatorial departments.
Once again the MVC has demonstrated its dedication to the
advancement of the purposes of the Museum. I would like
particularly to congratulate Joan Fitzpatrick and Elizabeth
Rhind, and all those who have worked with them on the Re¬
productions Shop.
On 30 June 1989 Dr. David Barr completed his five-year term
as associate director, curatorial. During those five years he
contributed significantly to the life and work of the Museum.
I would like to congratulate him publicly for all that he did to
advance a good cause. His sharp mind will be as much missed
in senior management as it will be appreciated in the Depart¬
ment of Invertebrate Zoology, to which he now goes with the
duties of a full curator. I must confess that I look forward to a
similar transition in due time.
Finally, I wish to record in writing some remarks that I made
at the June meeting of the Board of Trustees (I hasten to add
that this is no reflection whatsoever on any incoming members
of the Board of Trustees). The Museum will miss greatly the
active daily contribution to its affairs of Joan Thompson, Joseph
Garwood, and Nicole Eaton as members of the Board of Trust¬
ees. My life and the lives of the institution are much affected
by their retirement. The contribution of Edwin A. Goodman to
the Royal Ontario Museum is to be measured in historical
terms, and my sadness at his departure can only be compared
to Charles Trick Currelly saying goodbye to Sir Edmund Walker.
Director’s Report / 7
I OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
I Robert E. Barnett, Secretary to the Board
The year 1988/1989 was a fast-paced one in the Board Office.
Because it was my first full year as secretary to the Board of
Trustees and as the professional staff were completely new to
the office, a great deal of time was invested in establishing
procedures and techniques for efficiently carrying out the many
and varied tasks requested of us.
As a priority, the office equipment was thoroughly upgraded.
With the support of a one-time grant, the six-year-old elephan¬
tine word processor was replaced with a fully computerized
office connected to other ROM departments through the Mu¬
seum’s VAX mainframe. A new facsimile machine was installed
to reduce courier charges, and a high-volume copier, which
makes better use of staff time, was leased.
It is sometimes forgotten that the Board Office of the ROM
is also the corporate office and board office for a number of
related organizations and committees. Therefore, during this
twelve-month period, the office coordinated and served over
179 meetings for over 20 committees, 3 boards (those of the
ROM, the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, and the
National Portrait Gallery), as well as the Future Fund Today —
ROM Endowment and Allied Trusts. That number of meetings
placed a tremendous strain on the staff, for there were fre¬
quently four meetings a day.
Staff members were also asked to coordinate dinners and
receptions, on behalf of the Board of Trustees. This year, for
the first time, the office produced a number of documents for
the chairman and the Board, including reports on ROM trusts,
Board directives to senior management, orientation guides for
trustees, and the Gardiner Museum annual report.
The Board Office undertook and completed a pilot project
on the costs and practicalities of microfilming the corporate
records, to ensure their safety from loss due to “fire, theft, or
Act of God.” All Board minutes and exhibits held by the office
(for the years 1972 to 1987) have been successfully micro¬
filmed, and plans have been made to proceed with the pro¬
tection of all other committee minutes. With the acquisition of
copies of all official Board and committee records held else¬
where, a complete set of corporate records will exist in this
office. A draft policy on corporate records management was
tabled for discussion with senior management, and I am con¬
fident that in the coming year significant progress will be made
in implementing a proper records program.
While achieving these tasks, members of the staff were also
able to participate actively at meetings of the International
Committee for Architecture and Museum Technology in Bu¬
dapest and at the American Association of Museums confer¬
ence in New Orleans. Staff also assisted those members of the
Board who participated in the first international museums
study tour for ROM Trustees, which included visits and dis¬
cussions with senior museum specialists in Berlin, Dresden,
Leningrad, and Paris. All museum aspects of this tour were
organized and led by members of the office, based upon their
broad knowledge of museums.
Altogether, I think that this year establishes a new bench
mark of service to the Office of the Chairman and to the Board
of Trustees. I am confident in stating that the leadership and
direction given by Mr. Edwin A. Goodman, chairman of the
Board, and Mrs. Austin S. Thompson, deputy chairman, over
the last six years will ensure that their successors will be well
and tally served by this office.
I ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE DIVISION
I Michael Shoreman, Assistant Director
In 1988/1989 the division concentrated on the effectiveness and
efficiency of services in support of Museum programs, while
continuing to improve the quality of those services. The fol¬
lowing examples highlight some of the activities undertaken;
more detailed descriptions can be found in the department
reports.
The Security Department, by using a program of risk analysis
and utilizing manpower more effectively, achieved significant
cost savings for the ROM. The department assumed the re¬
sponsibility for the Housekeeping Unit, formerly a part of the
Physical Plant Department, and a security supervisor was ap¬
pointed to the important position of health and safety coor¬
dinator for the Museum.
The Physical Plant Department was involved with several ma¬
jor capital projects. Among these was the completion of the
restoration of corroded structural steel columns in the West
Wing. The construction of the John David and Signy Eaton
Court, a project managed by the department, was completed
on time and within budget.
Within the Finance Department, the Computer Systems Unit
concentrated its efforts on the development of an integrated
system for Membership Services and the Development Office,
and upgraded the Museum’s existing hardware. The Purchas¬
ing and Administrative Services Unit commenced the devel¬
opment and implementation of an integrated computerized
purchasing and materials management system. The customs,
tax, and traffic functions were transferred from the Registration
Department to this unit. The department put into operation
an accounting and reporting system for the Gallery Develop¬
ment Project.

William Graesser, Head
Computer Systems During the year the Computer Systems
Unit concentrated its efforts on the development of the inte¬
grated system for Membership Services and the Development
Office. The system was intended to be operational during 1988/
1989, but circumstances arose that will delay the implemen¬
tation until 1989/1990. Systems software was also developed
and implemented for the fund-raising event ROM Challenge.
The Museum’s existing mainframe hardware was upgraded
to a new Digital 3600 computer, which increased the memory
capacity significantly, tripled processing speed, and more than
doubled the storage capacity. This upgrade was necessary in
order to accommodate future systems development.
Finance A new financial reporting system was implemented
for the Gallery Development Project. This system can monitor
expenditures against the budget for each gallery at a very de¬
tailed level.
Purchasing and Administrative Services During the year a
multiuser computer system was installed, the first step in the
development of an integrated computerized purchasing and
materials management system. When fully operational this
system will provide on-line purchasing and receiving and
will interface with the accounting systems. As part of the
implementation of the Strategic Plan, this unit of the depart¬
ment will be expanded to include the customs, tax, and traffic
functions at the Museum.
PHYSICAL PLANT DEPARTMENT
The activities of the department focused on the efficient op¬
eration of the building systems and the maintenance of the
building and grounds. A solar recovery system was installed,
which preheats the domestic water supply, and a heat pump
was utilized to supply hot water to the 105-degree hot water
heating system. Lighting controls regulate illumination in the
galleries during regular Museum hours and provide dusk-to-
dawn control for the exterior lighting of the building. The com-
One of the new flower niches in the Rotunda.
puterized preventive maintenance program, which maximizes
the productivity of labour, was upgraded. The department be¬
gan research programs on the supply and utilization of steam
and electrical energy.
The past year contained some notable achievements. The
department supervised the work on the John David and Signy
Eaton Court. This new programming space opened in May.
After last year’s renovation of the Rotunda, further improve¬
ments were made: the construction of two flower niches in the
northeast and southeast corners was successfully directed. On
the curatorial side, a new laboratory for the Department of
Ornithology was designed and built.
SECURITY DEPARTMENT
Jack Vecchio, Head
With the resignation of Ms. Janet Banks, a new head of the
department was hired. Mr. Vecchio came to the Museum with
many years’ experience from the Art Gallery of Ontario, To¬
ronto, where he was responsible for all aspects of security.
Major events, such as the festival dinosaurs and the exhibi¬
tion Let’s Play Ball, tested the endurance of the department
by attracting large audiences of up to 7000 visitors a day. With
the rise in attendance at the Museum this year, the responsi¬
bilities of the department increased and the level of service
rose correspondingly, despite the fact that cost savings were
achieved and internal changes made to the department.
Established programs, such as risk analysis, manpower uti¬
lization, and the upgrading of security systems, remained a
priority for the department this year. A continuing education
program in security training improved awareness of security
issues throughout the Museum.
The Housekeeping Unit was transferred to the department
from the Physical Plant Department, and with this decision a
much-needed working relationship was established. The tim¬
ing of this move coincided with the department’s desire to
respond more readily to emergency situations, the set-up and
dismantling of furniture and equipment for functions, and
other related activities that involve the Housekeeping Unit.
Because of this reorganization, the department operated in a
more efficient and cohesive manner.
The health and safety of all Museum staff was still a matter
of paramount importance to the department. A security su¬
pervisor was appointed health and safety coordinator and was
assigned prominent office space, to create awareness of the
position within the Museum and to make health and safety
information more accessible to all staff. Through the efforts of
the Health and Safety Committee, a training program that in¬
volved health and safety coordinators from various depart¬
ments was put into effect, as part of an overall health and safety
plan. This plan also included training on the Workplace Haz¬
ardous Material Information System (WHMIS) and workplace
inspections throughout the ROM.
As the Museum’s chief fire inspector, the department head
was responsible for completing a building fire plan, to ensure
that all fire wardens were trained in the fire evacuation plan,
in the event of a legitimate fire situation and for the annual
fire drill. Fire extinguishers were checked periodically and any
irregularities, together with any fire hazards, were reported.
As an important part of ongoing work, staff processed photo¬
graph identification badges, responded to first aid calls, and
managed the lost and found. Although time-consuming, these
particular activities, which involved interaction with the general
public and staff, were unanimously voted the most enjoyable
by department staff.
Administration and Finance / 9
CURATORIAL AND CURATORIAL SERVICE DIVISION
David Barr, Associate Director
This year tested the initiative and resolve of the departments
in the division, for financial pressures meant staffing reductions
and monies for operations that fell behind the pace of inflation.
Nevertheless, in programs that ranged across Ontario and
Canada and stretched to touch countries around the world,
curators and other museum professionals achieved some
outstanding successes. The magnificent two-volume book The
Timurid Architecture of Iran and Turan, by Lisa Golombek,
curator in the West Asian Department, and Donald Wilbur,
appeared in print, and the Museum published An Engraver’s
Pilgrimage: James Smillie in Quebec, 1821-1830, by Mary Al-
lodi, curator in the Canadian Decorative Arts Department, and
Rosemarie L. Tovell of the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.
Basil H. Johnston, lecturer in the Department of Ethnology,
was awarded the Order of Ontario in recognition of his con¬
tributions to understanding Ojibwa history, language, and my¬
thology. ROM biologists conducted an interdisciplinary field
expedition to central eastern Peru and obtained specimens for
the collections of the Departments of Ichthyology and Her¬
petology, Invertebrate Zoology, and Entomology.
The Department of Vertebrate Palaeontology was especially
busy in the early months of the year, completing its contribu¬
tions to the ROM’s immensely successful festival dinosaurs.
And John Vollmer, formerly curator in the Textile Department,
teamed up with local baseball historian William Humber to
curate the innovative exhibition on baseball, Let’s Play Ball,
one of the Museum’s first endeavours in interpreting North
American society on the same basis used to understand ancient
and distant cultures.
Staff in the Registration Department and the associate di¬
rector’s office put in long hours tracking down records of all
the major donors of objects and specimens since the Museum’s
beginning. Those who have contributed gifts-in-kind over the
CANADIAN DECORATIVE ARTS
DEPARTMENT
Donald B. Webster, Curator in Charge
Acquisitions Twenty-four donors presented 180 gifts of ob¬
jects, the most significant being a large 18th-century Quebec
refectory table from Ms. Judith James. Four individuals donated
money; one of them, Mr. John Russell, gave $2000 to provide
a full-colour cover for the book on James Smillie by Mrs. Mary
Allodi, curator, and Miss Rosemarie L. Tovell of the National
Gallery, Ottawa. Purchases, all from trust funds, amounted to
$41 000. These included the unique 1797 James May silver tea
service by Robert Cruickshank of Montreal, purchased at auc¬
tion, and an inscribed silver salver presented to Benjamin Bell,
Hudson’s Bay Company ship captain, at Moose Factory in 1816.
Exhibitions and Loans French-Canadian furniture from the
Costello collection continued on special exhibition at the Sig¬
mund Samuel Building, along with the department’s collection
of Cornelius Krieghoff and Quebec paintings. Early Canadian
Portraits continued on view in the Queen Elizabeth II Terrace
Galleries on level 1-Below.
Artifacts were lent to museums across Canada — the Glenbow
years to support the growth of the ROM’s world-famous col¬
lections are now honoured on a series of plaques displayed to
the public.
The value of the recommendations for preventive collections
care made by Susan Wilson, collections advisor, was widely
recognized, and her services were requested on secondment
by the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications, to
assist with casting a provincial conservation policy that will
promote improved collections care and maintenance for all
Ontario museums. The ROM is delighted to offer her experi¬
ence and skills.
Marilyn Cook, special interest group coordinator in the De¬
velopment Office, managed the programs in four curatorial
departments and the Library and Archives, guiding them
through the first full year of operations. These groups go be¬
hind the scenes, where ROM members experience the collec¬
tions firsthand, converse with curators, and meet and listen to
visiting scholars and lecturers.
The completion of the Museum’s Strategic Plan and its ap¬
proval by the Board of Trustees proved a milestone for the
division. Of the many notable initiatives, perhaps the most far-
reaching was the establishment of the Institute of Contempo¬
rary Cultures, a new curatorial program, which will equip the
ROM to apply the skills and insight already perfected in the
study of past and distant cultures to the culture of today.
Many curators in charge and other members of the curatorial
staff participated with managers from across the Museum in a
series of training sessions on the application of the human
resources management system produced by the Mansis De¬
velopment Corporation. This unprecedented opportunity to
learn new leadership skills promises that accomplishments in
the future will be even greater than those enjoyed in the year
just ended.
Museum, Calgary; the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies,
Banff; the McCord Museum of Canadian History, Montreal; and
the Memorial University Art Gallery, St. Johns — and to the Ma¬
gog, Quebec, centennial exhibition. Within Ontario, loans were
provided to the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery; the Wellington
County Museum and Archives, Fergus; the Market Gallery of
the City of Toronto; and the Toronto Historical Board.
Teaching and Lecturing Mrs. Allodi spoke to classes from the
Ontario College of Art, Toronto, and gave the annual Vaughan
Lecture. Mr. Webster presented two lectures on ceramics at
Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. They both
gave introductory talks to new ROM members. Miss Janet
Holmes, curatorial fellow, lectured on glass to the London His¬
torical Society. Mrs. Patricia Heimbecker, word processing
clerk, taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques to
ROM staff.
Research Projects Mrs. Allodi continued with work on the
artist William Berczy, in collaboration with Miss Tovell. Mr.
Webster proceeded with his catalogue of French-Canadian fur¬
niture in the ROM and a guidebook to military bolt-action rifles;
the latter will be sent out for publication in fall 1989. Miss
Holmes worked to complete her thesis, “Community and Fac¬
tory: A Crucial Relationship in the Start-Up of Glass Factories

University of Delaware, Newark.
Public Service Staff responded to approximately 250 letters
and more than 2200 queries over the telephone from the pub¬
lic. The department library assisted 121 researchers, and cur¬
atorial staff met with some 200 special visitors to the
department and the collections. Mrs. Karen Smith, departmen¬
tal assistant, handled 106 requests for a total of 470 photo¬
graphs and transparencies, including 12 requests only for
permission to publish. All staff served on ROM committees or
project groups. Ms. Carol Baum, technician, also organized an
Ontario Museum Association seminar, and Mr. Webster served
on the board of the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse, Toronto, and
as museum advisor to the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada. The
Members’ Volunteer Committee hosted an object identification
evening at the Sigmund Samuel Building and five public lunch-
eon/tours.
EGYPTIAN DEPARTMENT
N. B. Millet, Curator in Charge
Gallery Development Just before the New Year, an institu¬
tional decision was made to the effect that all labels in future
galleries must be bilingual. As a consequence, drastic rewriting
of the prose for the new Egyptian and Nubian galleries began,
to allow room for a second set of labels in French. Additional
time was granted for the accomplishment of this task and for
preparing and editing the French translations.
Research and Field Work The ROM Expedition to Nubia, un¬
der Dr. Krzysztof Grzymski, assistant curator, with funds from
the Museum and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada, carried out another season at the site of
Hambukol in northern Sudan. With an award from the Future
Fund Today — ROM Endowment, the project acquired satellite
photography highlighting the surrounding area of the Nile Val¬
ley. The Dakhleh Oasis Project, a joint venture of the ROM and
the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities, funded by
those bodies and by private donations and directed by Mr. A. J.
Mills, spent some six weeks working at a number of sites in
the oasis. A third ROM project, the Expedition to Lahun, was
unable to return to the field this year, because the critical
situation with gallery planning required Dr Millet’s presence
in Toronto.
Teaching and Lecturing Dr. Millet and Dr. Grzymski taught
undergraduate and graduate courses in Egyptian and ancient
Sudanese archaeology and art for the Department of Near East¬
ern Studies, University of Toronto. In addition, Dr. Millet taught
a course in the ancient and undeciphered Meroitic language.
Popular and scholarly lectures were given by members of the
department.
Acquisitions and Loans A fine late Ptolemaic portrait head of
a man in black stone, formerly the property of Mr. R. W. Fin-
layson of Toronto and given by him to the Ontario Heritage
Foundation, became a gift to the Museum’s collections. A small
bronze weight in the shape of a calf, dating to the New King¬
dom, was received as an anonymous donation. Two pieces
were lent to the Brooklyn Museum for its major exhibition
Cleopatra ’s Egypt. An incoming loan for the new galleries was
negotiated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Public Service Dr. Millet continued to serve on the governing
bodies of the Canadian Mediterranean Institute, the American
Research Center in Egypt, the Society for the Study of Egyptian
Antiquities, and the Canadian Institute in Egypt. He is president
of the last two. He also served on the board of the Museum
of the History of Medicine of the Academy of Medicine of To¬
ronto and on the Visitors’ Committee of the Department of
Egyptian and Ancient Near Eastern Art of the Museum of Fine
Arts, Boston.
Staff Several volunteers added their talents to those of the
staff. Mrs. Faith Stanley and Mr. Angus Mueller worked on the
cataloguing and sorting of the collections, and Miss Leanne
Davies and Mrs. Sally Powell assisted greatly in the preparation
of materials for the new galleries.

classes, as well as many popular lectures at the Museum and
other cultural institutions. Mr. Basil H. Johnston, lecturer, gave
an Ojibwa language course. Dr. Nicks taught two graduate sem¬
inars in anthropology at McMaster University, Hamilton, and
served on graduate committees for McMaster and the Univer¬
sity of Toronto Museum Studies Program.
Public Service Curatorial staff offered presentations and
tours of the collections to the new Anthropology Special In¬
terest Group. Assistance was given to a number of ROM public
programs, and consulting services were provided to various
government agencies, museums, and the Woodland Cultural
Centre, Brantford. Visitors and requests for photographs and
information were received from around the world.

nadian Indians in international exhibitions.
Awards and Honours Mr. Johnston was awarded the Order
of Ontario in recognition of his research and publications on
Ojibwa language and cultural history. Dr. Mary Black-Rogers,
research associate, received a Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council of Canada grant to continue work on north¬
ern Ontario Ojibwa ethnography and history, which was begun
in 1958 by the late Dr. Edward S. Rogers, former head of the
department.

EUROPEAN DEPARTMENT
K. Corey Keeble, Associate Curator in Charge
Gallery Development and Exhibitions Work centred on the
preparation of the first stage of the Samuel European Galleries,
due to open in fall 1989. Meeting with the gallery team, retriev¬
ing artifacts for case layouts, recording artifacts to be used,
arranging for conservation and photography, writing the gallery
labels, and other related tasks consumed most of the depart¬
ment’s time. Ms. Torrie Munroe and Ms. Sandra Bernaus, tech¬
nicians, worked almost exclusively on gallery-related projects.
Dr. Howard Collinson, assistant curator, researched and or¬
ganized the exhibition Truth and Beauty: Neo-classicism in
the Decorative Arts, with assistance from Dr. Peter Kaellgren,
assistant curator, and Mr. Brian Musselwhite, curatorial
assistant.
Acquisitions and Loans Among several hundred acquisitions
was an anonymous gift of six pieces of silver, including an
English cage-work cup of 1675, a brazier made by David Wil-
laume I in 1698, an English silver-gilt charger of 1683, and a
nautilus shell, magnificently carved by Cornelius Bellekin about
1680. Of special interest were the two entree dishes made in
India for the European market in the 1840s, which are among
the best extant examples of Indian colonial silver. A donation
from Formica Canada Ltd. made possible the acquisition of
approximately seventy-five pieces of historic plastics, including
a selection of unusually fine bakelite jewellery and a celluloid
box by Rene Lalique. Mr. Bernard Ostry donated a group of
English period furniture.
Carved and engraved nautilus cup with silver-gilt foot, Dutch, engraved
by Cornelius Belleken about 1680. Anonymous gift.
Significant groups of artifacts were loaned to the Art Gallery
of Ontario, Toronto, for its exhibition of Holbein drawings, and
to the Musee Marsil, Saint-Lambert, Quebec, for an exhibition
analysing the origins of art deco in France.
Teaching, Lecturing, and Public service Dr. Kaellgren and
Dr. Collinson each taught a third-year course in the Depart¬
ment of Fine Art at the University of Toronto. Mr. Musselwhite
gave courses for the Toronto Board of Education; the Ontario
College of Art, Toronto; and the University of Toronto School
of Continuing Studies. Dr. Kaellgren and Mr. Musselwhite pre¬
sented research papers at a symposium on Neo-classicism or¬
ganized at the ROM by Dr. Collinson, to complement the
exhibition Truth and Beauty. At the Annual Symposium of the
Costume Society of Ontario, Dr. Kaellgren spoke on the origins
of the aesthetic movement. Both Mr. Musselwhite and Dr.
Kaellgren addressed the Canadian Antique Dealers Association
at its annual show. Mr. Keeble presented numerous public lec¬
tures on arms and armour, Renaissance ceramics, the Titanic,

unteer Committee tour to Italy. The department continued to
provide identifications of artifacts, for approximately 250 visi¬
tors. Mr. Musselwhite gave thirty identification clinics and pub¬
lic lectures.
Research Mr. Keeble continued work on the arms and ar¬
mour collection. Dr. Collinson, with Ms. Alexandra Palmer, cur¬
atorial assistant, Textile Department, travelled to San Francisco,
New York, and London, to research psychedelic design of the
1960s. He also continued his work on printmaking in 18th-
century Augsburg, using the collections of the Kunstbibliothek
in West Berlin. Dr. Kaellgren attended the National Trust’s At-
tingham Summer School in Great Britain.

Major artifacts were lent for an exhibition at the Rhode Island
School of Design, Providence, and at the Walters Art Gallery,
Baltimore. Loans also went to the University of Iowa Museum
of Art, Iowa City, and the Royal British Columbia Museum,
Victoria.
Mr. Wilfred Boroskie and Mr. Wayne Rix, technicians, up¬
dated and maintained the collections documentation and stor¬
age. The installation of three hard disk drives facilitated the
handling of departmental records. Dr. John Hayes, curator,
collaborated on French gallery guides. He and Mrs. Easson
wrote labels for the displays on Roman burial customs.
Field Work Dr. Hayes was a consultant to excavations in Italy
and Greece and the Hvar survey in Yugoslavia and studied finds

Etruscan art. Seminars and tours were given to students from
Scarborough College, University of Toronto, and Wilfred Lau-
rier University, Waterloo.
Public and Museum Service A display of ancient coins was
prepared for the March school break program. The department
assisted in the reproduction of three of its artifacts for the ROM
Reproductions Shop. The staff was interviewed for a thesis on
organizational change for York University, North York. Dr.
Hayes and Mrs. Easson reviewed four grant applications. Ann
Margani, department secretary, processed requests for over
two hundred photographs. Three hundred objects were iden¬
tified for the public.
Dr. Hayes completed his two-year term as head and was
replaced by Mrs. Easson. Staff members sat on a number of
ROM committees. Mrs. Easson chaired the External Review
Committee for the Department of Ethnology and was the ROM
representative for the Toronto Society of the Archaeological
Institute of America.
DEPARTMENT OF NEW WORLD
ARCHAEOLOGY
David M. Pendergast, Curator in Charge
Research and Field Work Dr. Peter L. Storck, curator, spent
a six-month sabbatical leave preparing a monograph, in collab¬
oration with several authors, on archaeological and multidis¬
ciplinary studies of an Early Palaeo-Indian site in south-central
Ontario. Prior to his sabbatical Dr. Storck visited several mu¬
seums in Colorado and Wyoming to study collections bearing
on his Ontario research. In May and June Dr. Mima Kapches,
assistant curator, continued the excavation of the prehistoric
Iroquoian component of a site in backyards of North York. The
work, funded by the Museum’s Committee for Field Archae¬
ology and the Future Fund Today— ROM Endowment and ac¬
tively supported by the owners of the properties, is expected
to continue in 1990. In June Dr. Pendergast carried out recon¬
naissance at the Marco Gonzalez site in Belize, as groundwork
for the hoped-for resumption of excavations there in 1990. Dr.
Elizabeth Graham, research associate, continued laboratory
analysis of materials from her excavations at Negroman-Tipu,
Belize, in preparation for the production of the final report on
the initial stage of the project.
Acquisitions and Collections Management Donations of On¬
tario archaeological material were received from Mr. Larry A.
Lundy and Mr. John W. Stephens. A large collection of objects
from Saskatchewan was donated by Mr. and Mrs. D.J. Mc-
Killop; some of this material was added to the ROM’s substan¬
tial holdings acquired from Mr. McKiliop’s father in 1937, and
the remainder was donated to the Saskatchewan Museum of
Natural History, Regina.
During the past year Miss Peta Daniels and Ms. Anne
MacLaughlin, technicians, were greatly assisted in their work
with the collections by Mr. Arun Blake, laboratory assistant,
whose presence was made possible by a grant from the Ontario
Ministry of Community and Social Services.
Teaching and Scholarly Meetings Dr. Graham taught
courses in early civilizations and human evolution at York Uni¬
versity, North York, where she now holds the rank of assistant
professor, supported by a three-year Canada Research Fellow¬

TEXTILE DEPARTMENT
Brigitta Schmedding,
Associate Curator in Charge
Awards and Honours Miss Louise W. Mackie, curator, re¬
ceived grants from the Future Fund Today— ROM Endowment
and the American Institute of Maghribi Studies of the University
of California in Los Angeles for her Morroccan project, “Fabrics
for Weddings in Fez.” Dr. Adrienne Hood, assistant curator,
was awarded grants from the Museum of American Textile His¬
tory, North Andover, Massachusetts, and the Economic History
Association, Washington, D.C.
Colloquia and Teaching Dr. Hood was the coorganizer of
the international colloquium “Surveying Textile History— Per¬
spectives for Future Research” at the University of New Bruns¬
wick, Fredericton, funded by the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada, Dominion Textiles,
and the department’s Veronika Gervers Memorial Fund. Miss
Mackie taught an undergraduate course at the University of
Toronto.
Gallery Development The planning of the Costume and Tex¬
tile Gallery within the Samuel European Galleries and the first
exhibition in that space, focusing on fashion costume, were
the department’s most important activities. The two curatorial
staff members involved, Dr. Schmedding and Ms. Alexandra
Palmer, curatorial assistant, worked in liaison with the gallery
team.
Exhibitions and Loans Selected items were lent to the follow¬
ing shows: Souffrir pour etre belle at the Musee de la Civilisa¬
tion, Quebec; Madame de Pompadour and Her Role in the
Arts at the David M. Stewart Museum, Montreal; Reflections on
Art Deco at the Musee Marsil, Saint-Lambert, Quebec; Picasso
in Toronto Collections and Drawings by Holbein for the Court
of Henry VIII: Fifty Drawings from the Collection of Her Maj¬
esty the Queen at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto. The
department also contributed to the ROM exhibition TriAth and
Beauty: Neo-classicism in the Decorative Arts.
Public Service A total of 112 artifacts were identified, and 152
visitors came to the department to research or consult with
staff members. Thirty-one tours through the textile storage

were given to groups and individuals. Ms. Anu Liivandi Palias,
technician, was a consultant to the McCord Museum of Cana¬
dian History, Montreal, with regard to the computerization of
its costume collection. She served the Canadian Heritage In¬
formation Network as chair of the Textile Working Group.
Acquisitions Of the 215 artifacts added to the collection, only
16 were purchased with the help of the Textile Endowment
Fund and the Future Fund. An outstanding collection of 8 Na¬
vajo blankets was purchased. Among the gifts was a collection
of 60 textiles donated by the Estonian Ethnographic Society in
Canada, which also raised money to help buy 2 new cabinets
for the storage of those materials. The Canadian collection
grew, with the gift of a unique crazy quilt made in Hamilton
in 1884 and of 6 Ontario quilts made in the 1920s to 1950s.
Although the department was without a costume curator, the
staff managed to handle the acquisition of more than 50 fash¬
ion costume items; the majority date from the early 20th cen¬
tury and were given by Toronto families. A woman’s outfit from
the fall 1988 collection of the Toronto designers Bent Boys,
donated this year, will be on display in the first costume show
in the new gallery.
WEST ASIAN DEPARTMENT
Edward Keall, Curator in Charge
The creative energies of the department were largely directed
towards promoting held work and the active manipulation of
data generated by successfully completed research missions.
With a small staff, which otherwise might thwart specialization
of that kind, this work was made possible by the fact that the
entire operation of collections management and office admin¬
istration was taken care of, on a day-to-day basis, by two long¬
standing members of the department. Mrs. Bardy Hart, de¬
partmental assistant, and Mr. William Pratt, technician, con¬
sistently provided the department with a high degree of
experienced decision-making for all routine matters. As a re¬
sult, other tasks, such as gallery development and exhibition
planning, were able to proceed with an optimum of efficiency.
Field Work Mr. Krzysztof Ciuk, curatorial assistant, repre¬
sented the department on the excavations of the Oriental In¬
stitute of the University of Chicago at Nippur, Iraq, as part of
a condition for funding the project by the National Geographic
Society. Dr. Robert Henrickson, assistant curator, participated
in the excavations of the University Museum of the University
of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, at Gordion, Turkey. Dr. Keall
directed the fourth season of the ROM’s Yemen Project in
Zabid, Yemen Arab Republic.
Research A grant awarded to Dr. Lisa Golombek, curator, by
the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Can¬
ada provided the foundation for in-depth study of 15th-century
Timurid Persian ceramics, an extension of her long-term focus
on the arts of Timur (Tamurlane). Petrographic analysis of the
ceramic fabrics by Mr. Robert Mason, technician, fostered con¬
siderable interchange with institutions abroad, which furnished
samples from their collections. Mr. Mason made a presentation
of the technical findings to the graduate class of Islamic ar¬
chaeology at the Oriental Institute, University of Oxford. Mr.
Gauvin Bailey, a University of Toronto student, documented
relevant information from sites and museums in east Africa.
This venture reflects the department’s mandate to study Is¬
lamic culture without regard to political boundaries.
Dr. Vanda Vitali, assistant curator, used the findings of the
department’s Iran Project as a model for the use of Expert
Systems, a computer application of artificial intelligence to ma¬
nipulate data, in the study of the provenance of ancient arti¬
facts. The analysis was conducted in collaboration with the
Centre national de la recherche scientihque, Paris. Dr. Eliza¬
beth Henrickson, assistant curator, and Dr. R. Henrickson con¬
tinued research on other aspects of the Iran Project. Although
this was their last year in residence at the ROM, they will be

actively involved with the publication of the final report. Dr.
R. Henrickson received a postdoctoral fellowship from the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., to continue his
work using xeroradiography imagery on the study of ceramic
structure, as well as other archaeometric techniques.
Special Interest Group Lively interest was shown by those
enrolled in the program. The highlight was a trip organized to
tour the exhibition Timur and the Princely Vision and to hear
the lecture given by Dr. Golombek at the Arthur M. Sackler
Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. Speakers this year included
Miss Louise W. Mackie, curator, Textile Department, who en¬
thralled members with her presentation on Islamic carpets.
DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY
Timothy A. Dickinson,
Assistant Curator in Charge
Field Work Dr. John McAndrews, curator, collected sediment
cores in Ontario, while Dr. Dickinson collected hawthorns in
Ontario, California, and Oregon. Two grants from the ROM
Science Cooperative Field Studies Committee supported field
work in northern Ontario by Dr. McAndrews and in Texas by
Dr. Dickinson. Dr. John Krug, research fellow, collected fungi
and lichens in the Swiss Alps, the Sonoran Desert, and Baja
California.
Museum and Public Service Dr. McAndrews and Ms. Deborah
Metsger, curatorial assistant, led fall and spring wildflower
walks. Dr. McAndrews spoke to students of the Stockdale
School about science as a career. Ms. Metsger completed a
Discovery Box on leaves and plant identification. Dr. Mc¬
Andrews and Dr. Dickinson served as associate editors for the
ROM Life Sciences Editorial Board and the Canadian Journal
of Botany, respectively. Staff answered requests for identifica¬
tions by researchers and the public, including telephone calls
about potentially poisonous plants. Dr. McAndrews and Dr.
Dickinson reviewed manuscripts and research proposals for
journals and granting agencies.
Teaching and Lecturing At the University of Toronto Dr.
McAndrews and Dr. Dickinson taught graduate and undergrad¬
uate students in the Departments of Anthropology, Art as Ap¬
plied to Medicine, Botany, and Geology as well as the Faculty
of Forestry. They also participated in graduate examinations
there and at the University of Guelph. Ms. Metsger lectured on
the identification of plants and on the activities of the depart¬
ment to hospital staff and naturalist and garden societies.
Staff Dr. McAndrews completed a one-year sabbatical; the
resulting unspent salary funds made possible the purchase of
microcomputer equipment. Ms. Angela Raljic completed her
technician traineeship. Ms. Ani Armenian, Ms. Keiko Kato, and
Mr. Dennis Zander were hired as summer assistants.
Acquisitions, Loans, and Collections Management The Vas¬
cular Plant and Cryptogamic herbaria received specimens from
private donors and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
Fruits, seeds, and seed jewellery were acquired from the De¬
partment of Botany of the University of Toronto. Ms. Raljic and
volunteers Miss Emily Hamilton and Mrs. Jo Barzynsky reor¬
ganized the vascular plants, updated the family and genus reg¬
isters, and catalogued photographic collections. Ms. Metsger
completed a manual on data entry for the Vascular Plant Her¬
barium’s Canadian Heritage Information Network database.
18 / Curatorial
The associate director, curatorial, provided a freezer for pest
control in the herbarium. Fifteen loans totalling 1860 speci¬
mens were either made to or received from other institutions.
Grants Dr. Dickinson received grants from the Natural Sci¬
ences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Future
Fund Today — ROM Endowment, and the Department of Bot¬
any of the University of Toronto, to complete the purchase of
a microscope and to assemble a system for microcomputer-
based video image-analysis and morphometries, for use in on¬
going studies of hawthorn systematics.
DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY
D. Christopher Darling,
Assistant Curator in Charge
Field Work and Acquisitions The department continued to
concentrate collecting efforts in tropical forest habitats threat¬
ened by human activities, and bulk samples were received from
the Philippines, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Field work was con¬
ducted in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Maine, and speci¬
mens for planned gallery exhibits were collected locally. Miss
Margaret Pickles, technician, received starter cultures of exotic
insects while in London, England, attending a conference on
the care and display of living invertebrates.
Collections Management Mr. Brad Hubley, technician, co¬
ordinated the automation of collections management proce¬
dures using personal computers. Because specimen labels are
now laser-printed, specimen preparation time has been
streamlined. Mr. Rein Jaagumagi and Mrs. Patricia MacCulloch,
curatorial assistants, established a database for type specimens.
With the 1987 census as a reference, it is now possible to
monitor the growth of the research collection. This year 12 763
specimens, largely Trichoptera and Hymenoptera, were added
to that collection. The department also became involved in
federal government job-creation programs, and three technical
assistants were hired for twenty weeks.
Research Funding for Dr. Darling’s research on the taxonomy
and biology of parasitic Hymenoptera was renewed for three
years by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Coun¬
cil of Canada (NSERC). The major contribution was a publi¬
cation of comparative morphological studies of the labrum of
Chalcidoidea. The World Wildlife Fund renewed support for
biological studies of the parasitic wasps attacking blowflies in
the nests of bluebirds and tree swallows; these studies were
coordinated by Ms. Julie Thomson-Delaney, research assistant.
The major emphasis of NSERC-supported research in Trichop¬
tera, under the direction of Dr. Glenn B. Wiggins, curator, was
pupation behaviour, and that work resulted in a new hypoth¬
esis for the evolution of the order. A study of Hydropsychidae
(Trichoptera) of New Caledonia was initiated by Mrs.
MacCulloch.
Teaching and Lecturing As cross-appointed professors in the
Department of Zoology of the University of Toronto, Dr. Dar¬
ling supervised the programs of one Ph.D. and one M.Sc. stu¬
dent, and Dr. Wiggins directed the work of three Ph.D.
students. Dr. Darling instructed in both undergraduate and
graduate courses and was involved in efforts to establish a
graduate program in evolutionary biology. Dr. Darling and Dr.
Wiggins presented invited symposium papers at the Seven¬
teenth International Congress of Entomology in Vancouver and
the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America in
Louisville, Kentucky, respectively.

Museum and Public Service Dr. Darling served on a number
of ROM committees, and Dr. Wiggins was a member of several
outside committees and organizations. The department orga¬
nized a symposium on the biodiversity crisis for Museum staff
and participated in popular public programs for the March
school break.
Again this year the department received many requests for
information from other museums, government agencies, in¬
dustries, and private individuals. The department continued to
be a principal resource for the identification of Trichoptera for
research workers throughout North America. Active loan ex¬
change with other institutions continued. Information and
sometimes photographic material were provided to the media
on numerous occasions.
DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
S. B. Lumbers, Curator in Charge
Acquisitions, Loans, and Collections Field work in North
America, Europe, and Asia by staff and research associates re¬
sulted in the addition of 250 specimens to the collections. Fifty-
four specimens were donated, including stromatolites in a
spectacular slab of Precambrian iron ore from the Wawa region
of Ontario, unusual eclogites from Switzerland, and a suite of
42 drill cores of alkalic rocks from the James Bay Lowlands.
Ninety rock specimens were lent to Canadian and foreign re¬
searchers and institutions. Loans of specimens, photographs,
and other material were also made to several programs within
the Museum and to the media and book publishers. The com¬
puterization of collections data began, with the acquisition of
a new computer and printer. Eventually all data pertaining to
the collections will be filed in the computer; this will facilitate
cataloguing, research, display, and public-service activities.
Research and Field Work Thirty-one geochronological and
petrological research projects were carried out on rock se¬
quences in Manitoba, Ontario, Newfoundland, the New Eng¬
land region, Brazil, Scotland, Norway, southern Africa, and
China. Geochronological studies, under the general direction
of Dr. T. E. Krogh, curator, involved five postdoctoral fellows,
ten visiting scientists, and twelve graduate students and re¬
quired the processing of 4900 kg of rock and 1600 isotopic
analyses. The forty-three entries in the staff bibliography give
some results of current research, which included studies of the
evolution of Earth’s mantle and particular aspects of the Pre¬
cambrian crust, the origin of specific kinds of rocks, the timing
of mineralization events, and the development of new and im¬
proved radiometric age-dating techniques. The work was sup¬
ported by over $400 000 in grants from a variety of sources,
including the Ontario Geological Survey, the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and research
agreements concluded with governments and industry in Can¬
ada and abroad.
Gallery Development Much of curatorial and support staff
time during the first half of the year was devoted to completing
the final design for the McLaughlin Earth Sciences Galleries.
Work was suspended in January by the associate director, ex¬
hibits, because of budgetary and contract problems and is not
expected to resume until September 1989.
Teaching and Lecturing Dr. Krogh and his associates super¬
vised five graduate theses. Staff gave many scientific and pop¬
ular lectures and conducted departmental tours for several
student groups and fifty visiting scientists. Staff were also in¬
volved with the Summer Experience program of ROM Creative
Arts and the March school break activities.
Public Service A total of 120 identifications of rocks were
made for the general public and other ROM departments. Over
230 inquiries for geological information by the general public
and the media were processed. About 35 researchers from
government, industry, and universities in Canada and abroad
made use of the collections. Curatorial staff reviewed manu¬
scripts for colleagues and a host of scientific organizations and
gave consultations to individuals from industry, government,
and research institutions. Technical and other advice was given
to geochronologists to help improve or establish geochronol¬
ogy laboratories in Canada, the United States, Brazil, Scotland,
India, China, the Netherlands, and South Africa.

DEPARTMENT OF ICHTHYOLOGY
AND HERPETOLOGY
Dr. Richard Winterbottom, Curator in Charge
Field Work and Acquisitions A ROM Science Cooperative
Field Studies trip to Peru by Mr. Erling Holm and Mr. Ross
MacCulloch, curatorial assistants, added approximately 35 spe¬
cies of amphibians and reptiles and 120 species of fishes to
the department’s South American collections. Expeditions to
the Comoro Islands and the Seychelles by Dr. Richard Winter-
bottom resulted in significant additions to the species repre¬
sented in the collection of Indo-Pacific fishes. Dr. Robert W.
Murphy, associate curator, and Mr. Les Lowcock, graduate stu¬
dent, collected salamanders in Haliburton for their research,
resulting in the discovery of a pentaploid (an animal with five
sets of chromosomes). Several small field trips were made by
various staff members to Ontario sites.
The department’s collections of Canadian fishes, amphibi¬
ans, and reptiles benefited greatly from the continued coop¬
eration of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the
federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Many other gifts,
including a sizeable collection of eastern European fishes, were
received from around the world.
Loans The international recognition of the collections was
revealed with requests for over thirty loans from institutions
in Canada and abroad, particularly for specimens from Canada,
Sarawak, and the Indo-Pacific. Researchers studying molecular
evolution requested loans from the frozen tissue collection,
which contains the only known samples of many species.
Research While on sabbitical Dr. Winterbottom revised a
group of Indo-Pacific gobiid fishes, including three new spe¬
cies, working out their relationships using osteology. During
expeditions to the Comoro Islands and the Seychelles he col¬
lected further specimens for research into the phytogeny and
elucidation of heterochronic (sequential development of struc¬
tures) characters. Dr. Murphy conducted research on the mo¬
lecular evolution of lizard families, using DNA/RNA gene
sequencing, and of salamanders, using flow cytometry and pro¬
tein electrophoresis, with Mr. Lowcock. He also continued mo¬
lecular investigations of the evolutionary position of the
coelacanth among other vertebrates, with Mr. Lowcock and Mr.
Paul Chippindale, graduate student. Dr. Edwin J. Crossman,
curator, with Mr. Nick Mandrak, graduate student, investigated
the distribution of fishes in Ontario, with subsections associ¬
ated with studies in the Niagara region and Algonquin Park.
With Mr. Holm, Dr. Crossman pursued the development of
information for the preparation of status reports of rare and
endangered species. His studies continued on the taxonomy
and distribution of fishes of the Baram River, Sarawak, East
Malaysia, with Mary Burridge, curatorial asistant; the repro¬
ductive homing in muskellunge, with Mr. Bernard Lebeau,
graduate student; and the systematics of esocoid fishes.
Honours, Awards, Teaching, and Lecturing Dr. Winterbot¬
tom presented an invited paper at the Willi Hennig Society
meetings in Stockholm, where he was made an honorary fellow
of the society. Papers were presented at the American Society
of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists meetings in San Francisco
by Dr. Winterbottom and Dr. Murphy and the following grad¬
uate students: Mr. Chippindale, Mr. Hugh Griffith, Mr. Greg
Klassen, Mr. Lowcock (who won a Stoye Award for best student
paper in general herpetology), and Mr. Randy Mooi. Mr. Man¬
drak presented a poster at those meetings and at the American
Fisheries Society meetings in Toronto. Dr. Crossman attended
the meetings of the Congress of European Ichthyologists in
Budapest and presented an invited paper at the annual meet¬
ing of the Ontario Field Naturalists. Fourteen lectures were
presented by staff and students to a variety of groups, including
university classes, senior citizens groups, and naturalist clubs,
on topics ranging from Ontario’s fishes, amphibians, and rep¬
tiles to coral reefs and plate tectonics.
The curators supervised the research of five Ph.D. students,
Mr. Griffith, Mr. Klassen, Mr. Lebeau, Mr. Lowcock, and Mr.
Mooi, and three M.Sc. students, Mr. Chippindale, Mr. Radu

Public Service Four high school students with special inter¬
ests in marine biology each spent a semester in the department
as part of their course load. Three people on the Section 38
Programme and one on the Student Employment Programme
received training in valuable skills.
Staff and students gave over thirty interviews, with the most
popular topics being the catch of a sixty-five-pound musky, the
work of the Ontario Fisheries Advisory Council, the discovery
of the pentaploid, endangered species, and keeping alligators
as pets. More than forty-five manuscripts were reviewed, and
Dr. Winterbottom, with the assistance of Ms. Cynthia Horkey,
departmental assistant, processed over twenty-five papers as
an associate editor for Systematic Zoology. Twenty-five letters
of reference were supplied. Inquiries from the public, business,
and governments continued to pour in, as well as requests for
identifications of specimens. Dr. Crossman again served as a
judge in the Molson Big Fish Contest. He also acted as an
expert witness in the litigation Lake Superior Chippewa Indians
vs. the State of Wisconsin.
Dr. Crossman served on the Science Advisory Committee of
Muskies, Inc., and as a director of the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters, while continuing as chairman of the On¬
tario Fisheries Advisory Council. Dr. Murphy served on the
Advisory Board of the Ontario Herpetological Society and the

curatorial assistants, led two field trips to the Yucatan Peninsula
of Mexico. This work is part of a long-term project on the
evolution and biogeography of the mammals of the area. Many
of the species collected were new records for the region or
were taken from remote localities that have never been stud¬
ied. Specimens, chromosome preparations, and tissues col¬
lected will be used in systematic studies of several species of
rodents and bats.

tion of the collared lemming (Dicrostonyx) , which appears to
be ideal for testing models of speciation and which might pro¬
vide information on the biogeographic origin of populations.
Field work, partially sponsored by the Science Cooperative
Field Studies Committee, began on Devon Island, Northwest
Territories, in late June.
Mr. Lim continued with his study of large South American
fruit bats ( Artiheus ). Ms. Woodward began a study of age and
sex variation in fishers. Dr. R. L. Peterson, curator emeritus,
completed a project on the systematics of tube nosed fruit bats,
and his graduate student, Patricia Ross, worked to finish her
thesis research on Palaearctic hamsters.
Teaching and Lecturing Cross-appointed to the Department
of Zoology, University of Toronto, Dr. Engstrom participated
in its mammalogy course. He supervised two students from
Angelo State University, San Angelo. Dr. Eger lectured in the
Department of Zoology and the Faculty of Forestry at the Uni¬
versity of Toronto, as well as the Department of Biology at
York University, North York.
Public Service Members of the department assisted the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police and the United States Fish and Wild¬
life Service with identifications of mammal species protected
under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species. The Nature Conservancy of Canada reviewed depart¬
ment records of rare mammals of the Carolinian Forest Region.
Staff gave public lectures and presentations and answered re¬
quests for information from the media. All members of the
department participated in the March school break program.
Gallery Development The north wing of the Mammals gallery
was renovated to make room for the new Birds gallery. Revi¬
sions to the Bat Cave script reduced the length of the program.
Scripts for the Members’ Volunteer Committee and French la¬
belling were reviewed.
Awards and Honours Dr. Engstrom was awarded two grants
from the Future Fund Today— ROM Endowment, to support
field work in Mexico, as well as a grant from the Northern
Science Training Program for investigations in the Arctic. Dr.
Eger received $10 000 from the Future Fund for the Dicro¬
stonyx project.
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY
Frederick J. Wicks, Curator in Charge
Gallery Development The Board of Trustees approved a fine
jewellery auction as a fund-raising event in support of the S. R.
Perren Gem Room. Donations of jewellery began to arrive from
individuals and jewellers. The auction will be conducted by
Sotheby’s (Canada) Inc. in spring 1990. The organizing com¬
mittee is chaired by Mrs. John (Marian) Bradshaw.
Acquisitions, Collections, and Loans A total of 16 gems and
435 mineral specimens were registered, including 19 species
new to the collections. The department lent 172 specimens to
researchers around the world and provided 23 photographs to
educational publishers and institutions.
Research and Field Work Dr. Joseph A. Mandarino, curator,
completed studies on the Gladstone-Dale relationship of the
sulfate group of minerals and on volkovskite, as well as a review
of the selenium oxysalts. His book on the mineralogy of Mont
Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, was a major contribution to the study of

this deposit. A review of serpentine minerals and studies on
the serpentine textures at Cassiar in British Columbia, talc-
carbonate alteration and rodingite alteration in the Timmins
area of Ontario, the chemography of the serpentine phase
diagram, and the thermal and evolved gas analysis of various
minerals were completed by Dr. Wicks; Dr. David S. O'Hanley,
postdoctoral fellow; Mrs. Eva S. Schandl, Ph.D. student; and
colleagues from other institutes. Dr. Robert I. Gait, curator,
finished a study on minerals from Nanisivik, Northwest Terri¬
tories, and Mr. B. Darko Sturman, associate curator, completed
research on ludlamite from Yugoslavia and on apatite as a part
of a project on fertilizers in Tanzania.
The X-ray powder diffraction, microbeam X-ray diffraction,
and thermal and evolved gas analysis laboratory continued as
the principal support of the department’s research efforts and
provided assistance to other ROM departments, outside re¬
search institutions, and the mineral industry.
Teaching In the Department of Geology, University of To¬
ronto, Dr. Gait was cross-appointed to teach mineral identifi¬
cation to undergraduate engineering students. Dr. Mandarino
supervised one graduate student and Dr. Wicks two. Eight pa¬
pers were presented to scientific meetings in Europe and
North America. Dr. Mandarino presented the keynote address
at the conference “Minerals and Museums,” held at the British
Museum, London. Dr. Wicks lectured on serpentine minerals
in a short course given by the Mineralogical Society of America
in Denver.
Professional and Public Service Over 345 requests for infor¬
mation were answered for the public and the media. Dr. Man¬
darino and Dr. Wicks served on committees of professional
organizations, and Dr. Gait worked for academic journals and
the World Book Encyclopedia. Members of the department
reviewed thirteen papers for scientific journals and served on
several ROM and University of Toronto committees.
Awards Dr. Mandarino received a $6000 operating grant and
Dr. Wicks a $27 500 operating grant and a $23 113 equipment
grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada. Dr. Wicks received a $6000 (U.S.) research
grant from the International Centre for Diffraction Data,
Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, and together with Dr. O'Hanley a
$32 200 research grant from the Asbestos Institute, Montreal.
Dr. O’Hanley received a $3000 field work grant from the Gov¬
ernment of British Columbia.
DEPARTMENT OF ORNITHOLOGY
Allan Baker, Curator in Charge
Gallery Development With the opening of the new Birds gal¬
lery scheduled for the end of 1989, departmental staff focused
most of their energy this year on the finalization of gallery
plans, the writing of text panels, and the acquisition of display
material. A wide selection of birds from around the world, as
well as a strong Ontario and Canadian component, will await
the public on opening day.
Acquisitions, Collections, and Loans Additions to the col¬
lections were restricted to material for specific research proj¬
ects involving house finches, meadowlarks, Canada geese, and
vireos. Researchers at the University of Western Ontario, Lon¬
don, and the University of the Azores, Portugal, donated 200
Chingolos (South American sparrows) and 220 European
sparrows.
Ninety-eight loans were made to artists, woodcarvers, and
sculptors, and twenty-two loans were made to the provincial
and federal governments, as well as institutions worldwide, for
research and education. The collections were used by visiting
scientists, students, and artists, and many requests from other
institutions for information on the department’s specimens
were answered using computerized records in the Canadian
Heritage Information Network.
Public Service Tremendous public interest in birds was re¬
flected in countless requests for information. Staff regularly
consulted on ornithological matters for naturalist magazines,
educators, and government agencies. Dr. Ross James, associate
curator, continued his work with the Committee on the Status
Science / 25
of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, and Dr. Jon C. Barlow, cu¬
rator, served on committees of the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo.
Field Work and Research The mitochondrial DNA laboratory
became fully operational this year, enabling Dr. Baker to com¬
plete studies of the genetic changes accompanying the evolu¬
tion of subspecies of Canada geese and chaffinches, assisted
by funds from the Ontario Renewable Resources Research Pro¬
gramme and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada (NSERC), respectively. Dr. Barlow continued
his NSERC-funded studies of protein, morphometric, song, and
ecological differences among selected passerines, including the
endangered Black-capped Vireo in West Texas. Dr. James ex¬
tended his studies of bird populations in jack pine forests in
central Ontario.
Teaching and Lecturing Dr. Baker and Dr. Barlow again
taught courses and supervised graduate students in the De¬
partment of Zoology at the University of Toronto, and Dr.
James lectured in the Faculty of Forestry. Mr. James Dick, cur¬
atorial assistant, repeated the course “Birds of the West Indies”
in the Museum’s Continuing Education program.
At the American Ornithologists’ Union meeting in Arkansas,
both Dr. Baker and Dr. Barlow delivered invited papers in the
symposium on contributions of molecular studies to evolution
at or below the species level. Dr. Barlow also gave a paper at
the Wilson Ornithological Society meeting at Cornell Univer¬
sity, Ithaca, and Dr. Baker gave an invited address at the Mu¬
seum of Zoology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Awards and Honours Dr. Barlow was appointed director of
the Museum Studies Program in the University of Toronto. Dr.
Baker was promoted to professor of zoology in the University
of Toronto and was elected a fellow of the American Orni¬
thologists’ Union.
DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE
PALAEONTOLOGY
Chris McGowan, Curator in Charge
Staff The department welcomed Mrs. Catherine Hollett as
departmental assistant but was sorry to lose Mr. Andrew Leitch,
technician, who requested a leave of absence to devote more
time to research. Dr. McGowan returned from a year’s sabbat¬
ical to spend a month as acting associate director, curatorial.
Once again the department benefited immensely from the ser¬
vices of several volunteers as well as numerous technicians
funded by provincial and federal training programs.
Collections, Acquisitions, and Loans A leatherback turtle
was received from Newfoundland. A significant collection of
fossil fishes of Mississippian age was obtained from Bear Gulch,
Montana; this purchase was made possible through a grant
from the Cultural Property Export Review Board and depart¬
ment funds. A collection of Pleistocene bones from Florida was
received as an exchange arranged by Dr. Gordon Edmund,
curator. Visiting scientists and faunal archaeologists made use
of the department’s comparative osteology collection.
Field Work and Research Further excavations by Dr. Edmund
near Warm Mineral Springs, Florida, produced more bones and
stratigraphic information, which date the deposit to in excess
of one million years. Dr. Edmund completed a manuscript on
Pleistocene pampatheres of Colombia, as well as the section
on non -Eremotherium edentates for a multiauthor paper on
the Daytona Beach Bone Bed. Mr. Kevin Seymour, curatorial
assistant, finished a manuscript on the use of computers for
generating preparation and conservation worksheets for fossil
vertebrates and one on the jaguar. Mr. Peter May, technician,
began work as the coeditor of a book on palaeontological tech¬
niques. Dr. McGowan completed manuscripts on X-ray to¬
mography of an ichthyosaur tail and on some problematic
ichthyosaur skeletons from the southwest of England.
Teaching and Lecturing Dr. Edmund continued the super¬
vision of Mr. Gerry De Iuliis, doctoral student. He also pre¬
sented a paper on edentates to associates in Florida. Dr.
McGowan coordinated the University of Toronto’s marine ecol¬
ogy field course in New Brunswick, in addition to lecturing in
the Department of Geology and continuing to supervise Mr.
Jaime Alvarado, graduate student. Mr. Seymour gave lectures
in a naturalist workshop at Queen’s University, Kingston, and
also spoke to the Saturday Morning Club. Mr. Leitch gave a
talk on X-ray tomography to Durham College of Applied Arts
and Technology, Oshawa, and taught a course on dinosaurs
for the School of Continuing Studies at the University of
Toronto.
Professional and Public Service Dr. Edmund and Dr. Mc¬
Gowan both reviewed several manuscripts and grant proposals.
Mr. May and Mr. Leitch were invited to Japan, where they
mounted a cast of an armoured dinosaur, the only one of its
kind, which they had assembled on their own time. Mr. Sey¬
mour was filmed in the Dinosaurs gallery for several television
shows, including “Kidsbeat.” He was also a consultant lo Read¬
er's Digest for an article on jaguars.
Awards and Honours Dr. McGowan received a three-year op¬
erating grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Coun¬
cil of Canada to continue his research on ichthyosaurs and the
swordfish.
COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT
Tosh Yamamoto, Coordinator
The department, in its capacity as central resource unit for the
management of the institutional collections information sys¬
tem, worked with the Canadian Heritage Information Network
(CHIN) and various ROM curatorial departments to upgrade
the hardware, software, and documentation standards relating
to the system. Mr. Gary Friedman, assistant to the coordinator,
tested new applications resulting from changes to the CHIN
mainframe computer’s operating system and to CHIN’s tele¬
communications network. He also contributed to the devel¬
opment of software programs that were designed to prepare
collections data compiled by curatorial departments utilizing
independent microcomputer systems and to ensure the data’s
smooth integration with the core CHIN data in the Registration
Department’s central administrative database. As a result of this
preparatory work, approximately five thousand dBASE III PLUS
records from the Far Eastern Department will be loaded early
next year to the CHIN computer system, PARIS. This reconcil¬
iation of data between the microcomputer and mainframe en¬
vironments represents a major step in the implementation of
the Database Integration Project (DIP). DIP has been designed,
in conjunction with the technical staff at CHIN, to allow for the
sharing of information between art and archaeology depart¬
ments and to allow a single access point for management and
other administrative staff to query the complete database
system.
Ms. Marili Moore and Ms. Lisa Fanuzzi, technicians, contin¬
ued to assist various curatorial departments involved with data
26 / Curatorial
entry and the administration of computerized collections in¬
formation. Their focus was to work as part of a project team
with the Registration Department to complete a major update
of the core information located in the central administrative
database. By locating and correcting inaccuracies in the com¬
puter record, this project team was able to prepare an increas¬
ing amount of administrative information to match up with the
curatorial departments’ collections databases, as part of what
wall become a fully integrated database environment.
As participants in the Computer Information Exchange
Group, department staff ran monthly workshops throughout
the year to share technical information on the PARIS system
with the CHIN user community at the ROM. Mr. Yamamoto,
Mr. Friedman, and Ms. Moore, as part of a larger ROM contin¬
gent, attended the 1988 CHIN Users Representatives Seminar
in Ottawa, where they had an opportunity to discuss issues of
mutual concern with other Canadian CHIN users as well as
with a growing number of associated users from outside
Canada.
CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT
Tosh Yamamoto, Acting Head
As in the past, the members of the department, along with
volunteers, interns, and a part-time employee, demonstrated a
high level of productivity in the areas of object care, exami¬
nation, and treatment; documentation; and public service.
Especially noteworthy was the involvement of staff in a num¬
ber of interdepartmental activities that had institution-wide
implications.
In response to a request from the Canadian Conservation
Institute (CCI), Ottawa, the department agreed to participate
in a parylene-coating project. This coating is a thin polymeric
film that forms in place by vacuum deposition and polymeri¬
zation. The nonreactivity and stability of the polymers, in ad¬
dition to the stress-free application method, suggested possible
applications of this technique as a consolidant and environ¬
mental barrier on some types of artifacts and archival material,
particularly objects for exhibit. Helen Coxon, conservator,
served as the ROM project coordinator. Objects of different
materials were provided by a number of curatorial departments
as well as Exhibit Design Services and Conservation. Although
the initial results were mixed, the CCI report indicates that the
process has definite potential and that further testing is
warranted.
In the area of preventive conservation, an assessment of an
electronic environmental monitoring system was begun. The
building has a series of automated sensor and control devices
within its mechanical systems, but a need exists for more crit¬
ical monitoring of environmental conditions within collections
storage areas, galleries, and even individual exhibit cases. Two
data loggers, each of which is about the size of a cigarette
package, were purchased and tested. These devices continu¬
ously monitor temperature and relative humidity and store the
information in a digitized format. This data is subsequently
transferred to a computer for analysis and graph production.
Eventually, it may be possible to have such data loggers in¬
stalled in a wide variety of locations and have all the readings
transmitted to a single monitoring station.
A Xerox 126 system was recently donated to the Museum by
the Surrey Medical Centre. This equipment, with its soft-tissue
and enhanced-edge definition capabilities, was developed for
mammographic examinations, and it now provides the insti¬
tution with a very useful analytical tool. The department, in
cooperation with the West Asian Department and the Depart¬
ments of New World Archaeology and Vertebrate Palaeontol-

the Museum’s newly acquired Xerox 126 system.
ogy, agreed to house the equipment in its photo/radiography
facility and to administer the machine on a shared-cost basis.
Work began on the upgrading of exhibit case guidelines, in
cooperation with Exhibit Design Services. Conservation re¬
quirements were identified and will be integrated into the de¬
sign and production aspects of the exhibit development
process. For that report Ms. Julia Fenn, conservator, contrib¬
uted a display-case materials section, which brought together
the latest information on the effect of various manmade ma¬
terials on objects exposed to them.
Finally, the department welcomed Ms. Coxon, who had been
working as a contract conservator for the previous year, to the
permanent staff.
LABORATORY OF
ANALYTICAL SYSTEMATICS
Jon C. Barlow, Coordinator
The Laboratory of Analytical Systematics (LAS) was established
in 1969 through a grant from the National Research Council of
Canada. It is supported jointly by the ROM and the Department
of Zoology, University of Toronto.
Staff Dr. Kian E. Chua resigned in 1988 as supervisor, and
Dr. Glenn B. Wiggins, curator, Department of Entomology, re¬
signed as coordinator and policy committee chair. Both indi¬
viduals guided the development of the LAS essentially since its
creation. At the end of this fiscal year Dr. Barlow, curator,
Department of Ornithology, relinquished his position as co-

ordinator and policy chair to Dr. Robert W. Murphy, associate
curator, Department of Ichthyology and Herpetology.
Research In response to the research interests of its principal
users, and in view of the limited space available in the LAS
suite, an undertaking began this year to restrict the focus of
the laboratory’s endeavours to a few analytical approaches that
will be of most benefit to the kinds of evolutionary research
projects with which the LAS is typically confronted. Space was
prepared in the Department of Zoology, University of Toronto,
to accommodate the atomic absorption spectrometer and gas
chromatograph currently housed in the LAS. The removal of
these instruments, whose main use has been in the fields of
ecology, physiology, and development, will permit the instal¬
lation of equipment relating to the identification of polymorph¬
isms (structural differences) in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
within groups of specimens. It will also allow for some expan¬
sion of the present electrophoretic facilities, used in the in¬
vestigation of protein polymorphisms. In conjunction with the
DNA systematics laboratory constructed recently in the De¬
partment of Ornithology, users will soon have access to a se¬
lection of current sensitive methods by which to establish
evolutionary relationships within and between taxa (groups of
similar organisms).
The creation of a karyotyping (chromosome-typing) facility
in the LAS began, under the direction of Dr. Mark Engstrom,
assistant curator, Department of Mammalogy. The participa¬
tion of researchers of varied expertise, such as Dr. Engstrom
and the leaders of projects involving protein and nucleic acid
variation, provides the LAS with a group of experienced sci¬
entists, who can advise and assist new users. The karyotyping
facility will augment the laboratory’s traditional histological ser¬
vices, which provide a means of examining microscopic
morphology.
A short review of projects undertaken this year gives some
insight into the research interests of the current crop of users.
The LAS fulfilled part of its teaching function for students in
the Department of Zoology, University of Toronto, by assisting
several graduate students with thesis work relating to the
systematics of different classes of animal. These included a
study of protein variation in a gull genus, and one pertaining
to shrew populations in Canada. Staff from the ROM Depart¬
ments of Ichthyology and Herpetology, Mammalogy, and
Ornithology undertook investigations of protein variation in
groups of rattlesnake, brush lizard, mouse, muskellunge, lem¬
ming, Brewer’s sparrow, house sparrow, meadowlark, and
vireo. Morphological variation was inferred from histological
preparations of marine earthworm, leech, frog, and some rep¬
resentatives of unusual tubelike worm species found around
volcanic vents in the ocean floor.
LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES
Julia Matthews, Head
With the release of the Strategic Plan, the Library was given
the opportunity to redefine and clarify its mission: the depart¬
ment will report to the director’s office for two years. Mrs.
Matthews made a presentation to the Board of Trustees, show¬
ing how the information needs of the ROM were changing, and
how new technologies could assist in meeting those needs.
Lederman & Associates were contracted to study operations
and make recommendations for automation options. The con¬
sultant’s report, delivered in February, followed intensive in¬
terviews within the ROM.
An informal survey revealed that an exploding number of
undergraduates were using the Library to get specific titles
located through the University of Toronto’s public access
catalogue, which includes our library records. Because of the
decentralization of collections at the Museum, Library staff are
not always able to serve those users effectively. Yet for a non¬
circulating collection, the record-breaking statistics this year
were 4631 loans, 4016 to staff and the balance to qualified
students and special borrowers. The number of departmental
retrievals exceeded 1000, as did Interlibrary Loan transactions.
In academic libraries, the trend is to an ever-expanding sense
of “system,” so that many students from institutions other than
the University of Toronto used the Library. Specialist users,
including students, continued to access heavily certain parts of
the collection, such as museology. Now that the federal mu¬
seum libraries have been devolved, the ROM, apparently, holds
the largest single museology collection in Canada.
Under the editorship of Ms. Anne Federer, assistant librarian,
the first ROM Staff Users’ Guide to the Library appeared in
time for the department open house. The Library and Archives
Special Interest Group sponsored four programs, and by the

end of the year, was still gaining members. An initial get-
together, in which all staff members participated, had as its
highlight a presentation on some of the rare books in the
collections, prepared by Isabella Guthrie-McNaughton, librar¬
ian. The fall meeting heard Sharon Hick, librarian, speak about
the life and work of A. P. Coleman, first director of the ROM
of Geology. In April the group convened at D&E Lake, Inc., to
learn how a dealer operates and to tour the premises. The
success of this program — as of all department programs — de¬
pended upon the teamwork displayed by librarians and library
technicians alike.
The Strategic Plan recognizes the need for an archivist. Until
a professional program can begin, Library staff continue to
make material accessible on a limited basis. Consultation with
the Board Office has ensured a long-range perspective for cor¬
porate records management.
Library staff agreed to contribute photocopying revenue to
the Future Fund Today— ROM Endowment. The purchase of
British Textile Design was made possible through the Future
Fund and the Textile Endowment Fund. A noteworthy gift was
A Monograph of the Phasianidae, presented by David Lank in
memory of Terry Shortt, a former staff member renowned for
his illustrations. The retirement of Mr. Edwin A. Goodman,
chairman of the Board of Trustees, was marked by a ROM staff
fund-raising initiative for the purchase of books for the work
of the new Institute of Cooperative Arctic and Subarctic Stud¬
ies. These were presented to the Library in Mr. Goodman’s
honour.
PREPARATORS DEPARTMENT
Vivian Peverley, Head
Galleries and Exhibitions Working with design staff of the
Exhibits Division, the preparators continued to design and fab¬
ricate mounts for objects destined for display in upcoming
galleries, in particular the Samuel European Galleries and the
Egyptian and Nubian galleries, which are scheduled to open in
the near future. For a full slate of special and temporary ex¬
hibitions, mounts were prepared for such diverse objects as
18th-century porcelains and 20th-century baseball bats. Prepar¬
ators began making supports for the next major special exhibi¬
tion, Into the Heart of Africa.
The preparators’ expertise in handling museum objects was
called upon during the installation and dismantling of such
recent temporary and special exhibitions as Treasures of the
Holy Land: Ancient Art from the Israel Museum, Dinosaurs
Past and Present, Truth and Beauty: Neo-classicism in the
Decorative Arts, Let’s Play Ball, and The Afghan Folio — Photo¬
graphs by Luke Powell. Departmental staff were responsible
for the pick up and delivery of loans for exhibitions, venturing
as far afield as Cooperstown, New York, for this purpose.
Mr. Andrew O’Mara, preparator, made a significant contri¬
bution to the exhibitions program as the coordinator for Truth
and Beauty. This work was done in addition to his regular
duties in the department.
Loans The department was responsible for servicing an ever-
increasing number of incoming and outgoing loan transactions.
During this past year, the preparators were involved in ap¬
proximately twenty-nine outgoing and forty-four incoming
loans.
Public Service Once again Mr. David Bush, preparator, pro¬
vided a lively demonstration of the shock-absorbing properties
of various packing materials, as part of the Museum’s March
school break activities. Mr. Bush also gave a lecture on meth¬
ods of packing artifacts to personnel from the Ontario Heritage
Foundation. During the year, departmental staff responded to
numerous telephone requests for information on materials and
methods used for supporting artifacts on display.
Professional Development Mr. Bush travelled to Camp Bor¬
den, Ontario, to participate in an intensive five -week course
Curatorial Service / 2C
on packing methods, organized by the Department of National
Defence. He achieved a mark of ninety-five per cent in his final
examination and was awarded a certificate of recognition upon
completion of the course. The skills acquired as a result of the
course will be applied to improving the packing systems used
to protect ROM collections in transit.
Changes Departmental staff said goodbye to Mr. Frank
McKeen, preparator, who took early retirement this year after
thiry-five years of service. His contribution to the Museum will
be sadly missed.
Finally, this report will be the last submitted by the depart¬
ment as a distinct entity within the Museum. As of 11 May 1989,
the department became part of the production services unit in
Exhibit Design Services, as specified in the Strategic Plan.
REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT
Guy Mathias, Associate Registrar
Records management remained the department’s core activity.
Accountability was improved through the creation of high-
value insurance schedules, gallery-case photography, quality
control on appraisals, and tighter inventory control. These pro¬
grams assisted immeasurably in the department’s ability to re¬
negotiate fine arts insurance coverage and withstand the
critical examination of ROM and Revenue Canada auditors. The
department continued to advise management, the Board of
Trustees, and curatorial departments on the increasingly com¬
plex regulations associated with donations under the Income
Tax Act and the Cultural Property Export and Import Act. The
department assisted in developing procedures to govern pur¬
chases and disposals of artifacts as well as the reporting of
accidents and thefts. Amendments to the Copyright Act neces¬
sitated a review of the department’s acquisition and loan
procedures.
Among the major personnel changes, most significant was
the resignation of the Museum’s registrar, Mrs. Sonja Tanner-
Kaplash, who had been with the ROM for fifteen years. Mr.
Mathias currently heads the department, ably assisted by Gail
Hudson, departmental assistant.
Acquisitions and Records Sandra Kirkpatrick, acquisitions
and records coordinator, and Cecilia Hanna and Kathryn Rum-
bold, registration assistants, processed a total of 357 transac¬
tions, resulting in the creation of 3164 new records in the ROM
administrative database. Of these transactions, 9 were certified
by the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board. Three
major acquisitions were made possible through grants from
that board. The section continued its general clean-up project
on the administrative database.
Many hours were devoted to the Donor Recognition Project.
A total of 330 donors were identified and grouped into five
categories, based on cumulative values of gifts-in-kind. These
donor names are now permanently displayed in the southeast
atrium.
Loans Several incoming loans for special exhibitions were co¬
ordinated, including those for Dinosaurs Past and Present and
Let’s Play Ball. The section processed forty-eight new incoming
loan transactions for study and display from cultural institu¬
tions as well as private lenders. Twenty-nine new outgoing
loans were processed to local, Canadian, and foreign institu¬
tions. Loans to travelling exhibitions increased this year.
Among them were groups of artifacts lent to the Canadian
Museum of Civilization, Hull, and the Indianapolis Museum of
Art. Cara McEachern, loans coordinator, was assisted by Ms.
Ronnie Burbank and Mr. Stephen Hum, registration assistants.
Customs and Shipping The section handled over five hundred
transactions and shipments for the Museum. The necessary
customs clearance and transportation were arranged for the
special exhibitions. Among other things, the section handled
the acquisition of several William Morris textiles from New
York, psychedelic posters from San Francisco for the new In¬
stitute of Contemporary Cultures, and an abrasive tool for fine
work on palaeontology specimens. Mr. Barry McQuade contin¬
ued as customs and shipping coordinator, assisted by Mr. Hum,
who works half-time in the section.
Public Service Mrs. Tanner-Kaplash and Mr. Mathias taught
a three-day Ontario Museum Association certificate course on
collections management in Kingston, Ontario. The department
continued to advise various government and private agencies.
I DEVELOPMENT AND MEMBERSHIP DIVISION
I Robert H. Howard, Assistant Director
Over the past several years, generous capital support from
corporations and foundations, coupled with strong contribu¬
tions from individuals, has enabled the Museum to maintain a
strong pace of gallery development. Along with this ongoing
and vital capital support, corporate sponsorship has continued
to play an increasingly important role by contributing greatly
to the vitality of the Museum through the financial support of
many exhibitions and programs. We wish to thank most no¬
tably the Toronto Sun for their sponsorship of the very suc¬
cessful festival dinosaurs and the Toronto Blue Jays and their
principal owners, Howard Webster and Labatt’s, for their spon¬
sorship of the successful exhibition Let’s Play Ball. The Mu¬
seum is grateful as well for the sponsorship of many fund¬
raising activities, which are an important complement to our
well-established giving programs.
This past year saw a major expansion of the Run for the
ROM. Two new events, the Tour of Toronto mass participatory
ride and the ROM Classic Corporate Relay, were combined with
the Run to make the ROM Challenge. These three events con¬
tributed to our increased fund-raising momentum and growing
presence in the community, and as these events grow in stature
and importance, we will always be grateful to the sponsors who
provided the support to launch them.
This year Labatt’s, Loblaws, and Jeep Eagle (a division of
Chrysler Canada Ltd.) were joined by CFTO-TV, CFRB, and
Central Guaranty Trust. Their very generous sponsorship pro¬
vided the events that saw thousands of Torontonians run and
ride for the ROM in a fun-filled, exciting, and very profitable
series of activities.
Once again Ford Motor Company (Ltd.) supported the Win-
A-Wagon draw, which has now raised in excess of $250 000 for
the Museum and various hockey teams within the Metropolitan
Toronto Hockey League.

needs, the core of support for the Museum has always and will
continue to come from generous donations from individuals.
It was therefore most fitting that at this year’s Lieutenant
Governor’s Dinner for members of the Royal Terrace Club and
Royal Corporate Circle, we were privileged to honour the
contributions of our most recent major benefactors. The
Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows, the Eaton Foundation,
the R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation, the Samuel Family, and
the W. Garfield Weston Foundation and George Weston Lim¬
ited have each contributed greatly to the Museum and pro¬
vided outstanding leadership examples of the importance of
philanthropy to the health, prestige, and development of Can¬
ada’s international museum.
In order to prepare for funding challenges in the future, the
division worked to increase revenue from food services and
banquets, established the largest membership base in the Mu¬
seum’s history, and vigorously sought out and promoted new
areas of merchandising. And through ROM Reproductions and
other fund-raising efforts, the Members’ Volunteer Committee
continued its outstanding support of the Museum.

MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
Elizabeth Barrett, Head
Campaigning for new members and improving benefits to
members were the major objectives of the department this
year, and both were successfully met.
The ranks of the Museum members grew at an unprece¬
dented rate during 1988/1989. Over the year, five thousand
new memberships were acquired, representing some ten thou¬
sand individuals. By year end, there were more than thirty-two
thousand members enrolled in some twenty thousand mem¬
berships. Recruitment continued through the combination of
man of the Board of Trustees, who devoted countless hours
to the Museum, were truly inspirational. An extremely dedi¬
cated core of volunteers, especially Joan Thompson, Nicole
Eaton, Marian Bradshaw, Wendy Rebanks, and Sally Brenzel,
was an invaluable resource, and their dedication served as a
catalyst for the many other volunteers who contributed their
time, effort, and knowledge. As always, it was a great pleasure
to share with all of them the pursuit of the development goal
of the ROM: to provide the necessary non-tax-based support
that will allow the Museum to better serve its many publics in
the decades ahead.
Rotunda Magazine A resource group, consisting of ROM
trustees and curators as well as outside publishing profession¬
als, under the very able chairmanship of Nicole Eaton, was
established to promote the further growth and development
of Rotunda magazine. Recent redesign and a readership survey
are examples of our ongoing search to provide better service
to our readers and strengthen our revenue and market posi¬
tions. The Museum is pleased with the growth in circulation
and advertising revenue.
direct mail campaigns, telemarketing, and in-house sales. The
increase in membership directly benefits the ROM in many
ways: it provides broader community support; expands the
pool of prospective Museum donors; yields greater numbers
of participants in programs; builds a broader readership base
for the Museum’s quarterly magazine, Rotunda; and brings in
more users of the Museum’s retail and food service operations.
The festival dinosaurs and the special exhibition Let’s Play
Ball each provided an opportunity for two-day Members’ Pre¬
views, and four receptions extended a Museum welcome and
orientation for the many new members. Other benefits were
updated. A new contemporary format was introduced for the
bimonthly membership newsletter, Atria, and Rotunda re-
Development and Membership / 31
ceived a fresh design. In July the Marriott Corporation took on
food services operations for the Members’ Lounge and
throughout the year steadily and consistently strove to enhance
both service and quality. Refinements to the decor and the
addition of a true lounge area, complete with baby grand piano,
made the Members’ Lounge more appealing than ever as a
principal privilege of membership. In addition to the expansion
of afternoon tea service, evening hours were extended on
Tuesdays and Thursdays to provide seating for dinner until
10:00 p.m.
The special interest groups for members enjoyed their first
full year of in-depth activities. The Gardiner Group was added
for those with a special love of ceramics; it encompasses many
of the benefits of the previous membership program at the
George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art.
An encouraging area of growth was the Museum gift clubs
for annual donors. Both the Museum Circle, newly established
for donors of $200 a year, and the Director’s Circle achieved
significant numbers. Members of the gift clubs, including the
Royal Terrace Club and Royal Corporate Circle, participated in
such activities as the Friends’ Dinner Party, the Mother’s Day
Family Gathering, the Chairman’s Reception, the Director’s
Circle Reception, and the annual Lieutenant Governor’s
Dinner.
In this year of concentrated effort towards meeting the needs
of the increasing numbers of members who come to the Mu¬
seum to exercise their membership privileges, the support and
assistance of several individuals and groups must be noted.
The invaluable presence of the Members’ Volunteer Committee
and the ROM Volunteers at all membership activities once
again personalized the Museum for members. And Nicole
Eaton, who completed six years as chairman of the Board of
Trustees Membership Resource Group, enthusiastically and
skilfully led a committee that worked devotedly towards im¬
proving and elevating the offerings and activities of the de¬
partment to their current position of strength and vibrancy
within the Museum. Her leadership has benefited all ROM
members.
ROM SHOPS
Leigh Stevenson, Head
The ROM shops had an exceptionally profitable year, showing
an increase of forty-seven per cent in gross sales over last year.
This success was the result of a number of factors.
Sales to members and staff quadrupled, and walk-in trade to
the ROM Shop increased dramatically over the past year. Spe¬
cial exhibition shops were in place during the Treasures of the
Holy Land and Let’s Play Ball and the festival dinosaurs. The
Dino Store was an unprecedented success— -so much so that
it was difficult to process sales quickly enough. Because of the
success of the Dino Store, a permanent dinosaur mini shop
was set up next to the Dinosaur Gallery on the second floor
of the Museum. It is open during peak hours and has proved
to be profitable.
Two ventures were launched this year, romwear, the Mu¬
seum’s top line of casual wear, was officially presented to the
membership and general public during special events, such as
exhibition previews and the ROM Challenge. The first direct-
mail catalogue was distributed to members and the general
public.
A number of ROM-related products were developed. The
Romzilla line of children’s clothing and accessories has become
very popular. A beautiful new souvenir guide to the Museum
and a more striking and varied selection of postcards were
published. Many thanks are due to the Museum departments
and curators who assisted with these and other projects.
The main developments in the ROM Shop included an ex¬
pansion of the book selection, in a concerted effort to raise
the profile and quality of one of the most important areas of
the shop. The poster and print selection was increased, and
the display area enlarged.
Now that the ROM shops have been transferred to the De¬
velopment and Membership Division, the trend towards
growth, including the development of new ventures and prod¬
ucts, will surely continue.
EXHIBITS DIVISION
Louis D. Levine, Associate Director
Organization The past year was one of further definition for
the division, which has now achieved the mature age of two
years. More refinements and additions were made to the or¬
ganizational structure described in the 1987/1988 annual re¬
port. The most important development was the creation of the
Exhibit Coordinating Group. This unit, which is made up of
the head of exhibitions and the exhibitions officer, the ac¬
counting coordinator, and the two project coordinators, brings
together all the staff in the division responsible for coordinat¬
ing the Museum’s exhibit projects. With the exception of the
exhibitions officer and the accounting coordinator, all mem¬
bers of the group report directly to the associate director. Dur¬
ing the 1988/1989 fiscal year there were some staffing changes
related to this unit. These included the hiring of Ms. Lorna
Johnson as project coordinator and Ms. Susan Haight as as¬
sistant to the associate director (who will also serve as a project
coordinator on a half-time basis) and the promotion of Ms.
Loredana Drusian to exhibitions officer.
Under the terms of the provincial government’s French Lan¬
guage Services Act, the Museum is obligated to produce fully
bilingual galleries and exhibitions. This imperative led to an¬
other significant change: the decision to establish a French
language interpretation unit within Exhibit Design Services.
The unit reports to the chief interpretive planner and com¬
prises a supervisor and two translators.
Project Management Major progress was made in the crea¬
tion and implementation of control mechanisms designed to
achieve the goals established by the Gallery Development Plan
and the exhibitions program. Financial management systems
set up during the previous fiscal year were put into practise at
all levels, leading to a marked improvement in the timeliness
and accuracy of information provided to senior management
and the Board of Trustees. Divisional managers also developed
a review process for exhibit projects that specifies the products
that must be completed by exhibit team members by each
planning stage. Reviews are now routinely conducted at four
critical points in the planning process: project brief, concept
design, preliminary design, and final design.
Gallery Projects Five galleries were under development, and
by the end of the year, production of the Samuel European
32 / Exhibits
Galleries was well advanced, with the public opening date set
for 12 October 1989. Work on the Birds gallery proceeded
smoothly through the final design phase, and production will
begin shortly. The Egypt/Nubia team was involved in prelimi¬
nary design, and the newly chartered ethnology team began
finalizing the concept design for the first phase of its galleries.
Development of the McLaughlin Earth Sciences Galleries was
temporarily put on hold, in order to permit an evaluation of
the project. The Gallery Development Committee of the Board
of Trustees, under the chairmanship of Mr. D. Miles Mc-
EXHIBIT DESIGN SERVICES
Lome E. Render, Head
Exhibit Design Services continued its reorganization this year,
to better fulfil its mandate of providing skills for the creation
of successful exhibits. The department now comprises six
units: administration, the resource centre, design, interpretive
planning, photography, and production services. The positions
of chief designer and coordinator of audience research, both
established last year, were filled. In accordance with the Stra¬
tegic Plan, the Preparators Department was absorbed by Ex¬
hibit Design Services in mid-May. This occasioned the
redistribution of responsibilities in the production services unit
and led to the establishment of the exhibit preparator positions
and the creation of two new positions: assistant managers of
exhibit preparation and exhibit production.
Galleries and Exhibitions Planning and production of new
galleries and exhibitions remained the central activity of the
department. Specific gallery projects and exhibitions are men¬
tioned in other Exhibits Division reports. In addition, a new
floor plan was designed and an improved interim directional
signage system was installed throughout the galleries.
Professional Development The department’s professional
development program, established last year, helped staff to
participate in a wide range of activities: lectures, seminars, con¬
ferences, course work, competitions, and various exhibitions
Menemy, continued to provide much guidance and leadership
in these efforts.
Exhibitions Through the exhibitions program, the Museum
offered a wide variety of special and temporary exhibitions.
Further details are given in departmental reports. In recogni¬
tion of the importance of this program, the Exhibitions Sub¬
committee of the Board of Trustees was elevated to the status
of a full committee, the Exhibitions Committee, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Dorothy Dunlop.
and trade shows. All staff members attended orientation ses¬
sions on the Mansis Performance Management System, recently
introduced throughout the Museum. Project management
training was initiated. The compilation of current technical
standards for galleries began, as did the design and staffing of
the resource centre. The computerization of many departmen¬
tal functions continued, with staff computer training remaining
a top priority. Members of the department also organized and
hosted visits of experts and students to the Museum, taught
courses, presented papers at conferences, and served on com¬
mittees both within the Museum and at other educational and
museological institutions.
Awards and Honours The temporary exhibitions Treasures
of the Holy Land: Ancient Art from the Israel Museum and
The Gould Collection of Netsuke: Miniature Sculptures from
Japan were entered in juried competitions, and both won
awards for design excellence. Department taxidermists placed
first and second in a national competition and judged an Amer¬
ican competition.
Other Operations The department took part in two major
audience research projects. First, in response to the provincial
government’s French Language Services Act, a francophone
audience research study was completed and translations of gal¬
lery guides began. Second, a visitor survey was initiated, to
compare audience characteristics, behaviour, and attendance.
It is sponsored by a consortium of Toronto institutions, com¬
prising the Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Ontario
View of the new offices in Exhibit
Design Services, part of the reorga¬
nization and renovation of the depart¬
ment’s space and facilities, begun last
year and nearing completion.

In the course of documenting collections and shooting
publicity photographs, department photographers processed
12 508 black and white prints, 12 463 colour slides, and 394
colour prints. The maintenance of displays in more than one
hundred thousand square feet of galleries was carried out by
the production services unit.
Finally, on a personal note, the department wishes every
happiness to Mr. Hilary Cook, workshop foreman and master
craftsman, who retired this year after eighteen years of service.
EXHIBITIONS DEPARTMENT
Margo Welch, Head
The department offered a diverse selection of exhibits with
great public appeal. The program was balanced between sci¬
ence and art and archaeology exhibits, with content that
spanned early life on this planet to contemporary North Amer¬
ican culture.
Treasures of the Holy Land: Ancient Art from the Israel
Museum (9 May to 5 September 1988) continued to draw a
large and appreciative audience for the length of its run. Final
attendance was excellent at over 229 000 people. This out¬
standing exhibition was sponsored by the Canadian Friends of
the Israel Museum, along with Andrea and Charles Bronfman,
Sydney and Florence Cooper, Shirley and Eph Diamond, Sheila
and Nahum Gelber, Sandra and Joseph Rotman, Joey and Toby
Tanenbaum, the Mendelson Family Foundation, Arnon Devel¬
opment Corporation Ltd., Minto Construction Limited, and
Olympia & York.
dinosaurs was a tremendously successful festival coordinated
by this department and sponsored by the Toronto Sun. The
festival was built around Dinosaurs Past and Present (20 Oc¬
tober 1988 to 2 January 1989), an exhibition organized and
circulated by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County, and was supplemented by exhibits from the ROM De¬
partment of Vertebrate Palaeontology. Many other Museum
programs helped to make this festival a success. With 248 002
visitors, Dinosaurs Past and Present surpassed exhibition at¬
tendance records since the ROM’s reopening.
An innovative exhibition, Let's Play Ball (1 March to 4 Sep¬
tember 1989), was sponsored by the Toronto Blue Jays and
their principal owners, Labatt’s and Howard Webster. Orga¬
nized by the ROM, this exhibition surveyed the history, my¬
thology, and social significance of baseball and included objects
on loan from private and institutional lenders, including the
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Cooperstown,
New York, and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
Small temporary exhibitions this year included Beauties of
the Coral Reef (11 June to 28 August 1988), organized and
circulated by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition
Service; Blood from Stone: Making and Using Stone Tools in
Pre-historic British Columbia (18 June to 1 August 1988), or¬
ganized and produced by the University of British Columbia
Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver; and The Afghan Folio —
Photographs by Luke Powell (24 June to 19 November 1989),
circulated by the artist. The ROM organized and mounted
Truth and Beauty: Neo-classicism in the Decorative Arts (3
December 1988 to 28 May 1989). This exhibition featured
prints and drawings, decorative items, and textiles from the
European and Textile departments. It received an excellent
response from critics and visitors alike.
The exhibitions program this year was greatly assisted by the
support received from the Ontario Ministry of Culture and
Communications; the Insurance Program for Travelling Exhi¬
bitions, Department of Communications, Government of Can¬
ada; and the Promotion of Official Languages Program,
Department of the Secretary of State of Canada.
The exhibitions program is a collaborative effort on the part
of many different departments and their staffs. Thanks are due
to all participants and especially to Ms. Loredana Drusian, ex¬
hibitions officer, for her efforts.

HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION
Nancy Hood, Assistant Director
The Personnel Department provides services for the entire Mu¬
seum community in the areas of recruitment; wage, salary, and
benefits administration; records management; and staff devel¬
opment. The department is also responsible for labour rela¬
tions, including collective bargaining, labour-management
relations, and the administration of the four collective agree¬
ments in place at the Museum.
The major activities of the department this year included a
full review of the ROM Pension Plan, which resulted in a num¬
ber of amendments to the plan required by the Pension Ben¬
efits Act, 1987 (Ontario). The department was also involved in
the coordination of a significant review of the qualifications
required for the two hundred positions in the OPSEU bargain¬
ing unit. This review ensured that the Museum’s requirements
which determine salaries are standardized across all divisions.
It also formed a solid foundation for the preparation of the pay
equity plan for the OPSEU bargaining unit. To comply with the
Pay Equity Act, the ROM is obligated to prepare, post, and
implement five separate pay equity plans, one for each em¬
ployee group, by 1 January 1990.
It is important to note that during the 1988/1989 fiscal year,
the ROM fully implemented the final “catch-up” payments for
all employee groups, honouring the Museum’s commitment of
several years ago to improve the staff salaries to rates com¬
parable to the salaries paid in similar institutions. The down¬
side to this very positive step is that the ROM was not able to
maintain the same staff complement and stay within the limits
of the operating budget. Therefore, early in 1988/1989, the
Museum made the extremely difficult decision to cut twenty-
four positions from its full-time staff complement. The majority
of these were eliminated by taking advantage of natural attri¬
tion. The entire reduction of positions, however, could not be
accomplished in this manner, and it was unfortunately neces¬
sary to give six employees notice of lay-off or termination. By
taking advantage of other vacancies that came up, three of
those employees were accommodated in positions within the
ROM. Nevertheless, it was a very difficult period in the history
of the Museum.
With the approval of the Board of Trustees of the final ver¬
sion of the Strategic Plan, the department participated in the
early stages of implementation of the organizational changes
specified in the plan.
As part of a staff development initiative, the department ar¬
ranged concentrated training opportunities for ROM employ¬
ees in the areas of computer-skills upgrading, management
training, and French language skill development. A major focus
was placed on the introduction of the Mansis Performance
Management System, a system that requires managers to
clearly communicate work-related expectations and gives em¬
ployees clear opportunities to seek clarification of assignments.
This system, as it becomes more fully integrated at the ROM,
should lead to more efficient and effective communication be¬
tween managers and staff.
And finally, with the very fluid employment market in To¬
ronto over the past year, the department allocated, out of ne¬
cessity, many of its resources to meeting the recruitment needs
of the entire Museum. Approximately one hundred new staff
were hired, an additional thirty-five persons were employed
under government-sponsored programs, and roughly fifty Mu¬
seum employees were promoted or changed their positions
within the ROM as a result of vacancies.
I PUBLIC PROGRAMS DIVISION
I Ken MacKeracher, Associate Director
Admissions this year reached 1 281 037, the highest attendance
since the Museum reopened and a twelve per cent increase
over last year. Visitors attended exhibitions and galleries and
participated in programs and special events at the main build¬
ing, the Sigmund Samuel Building, and the George R. Gardiner
Museum of Ceramic Art — in its first full year in association with
the ROM. Visitors to the McLaughlin Planetarium astronomy
shows and its gallery, the Astrocentre, accounted for nearly
twenty-five per cent of admissions. The Gardiner Museum
posted a sixty-five per cent increase in attendance over a year
ago.
A total of 709 911 students, teachers, patrons of community
museums, libraries, and service organizations in municipalities
throughout the province participated in travelling exhibitions,
in-school sessions, and speakers’ bureau presentations spon¬
sored by Outreach Services.
The department reports that follow detail many program
highlights. Of particular note was the significant increase in
school group attendance, the twentieth anniversary of the
opening of the McLaughlin Planetarium, the positive effect that
well-considered marketing and media relations plans had on
the Museum’s maintaining a high public profile, two successful
copublishing ventures negotiated by Publication Services, and
government commendation of the efforts of Outreach Services
in providing multicultural programming opportunities and a
timetable for meeting the requirements of the French Lan¬
guage Services Act, which becomes effective in November 1989.
Special grants from the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Com¬
munications funded two major audience surveys, which, to¬
gether with another administered by the McLaughlin
Planetarium, confirmed an encouraging increase in first-time
visitor attendance at Museum attractions. Three important
meetings held during the year by the associate director and
senior museum educators with the Ontario Ministry of Edu¬
cation’s assistant deputy minister and the directors of the min¬
istry’s Learning Programs Division established an ongoing
collaborative liaison, which is expected to benefit both future
ROM school programs and professional development oppor¬
tunities for teachers.
Implementation of the Strategic Plan recommendations for
public programming began in the spring, with the establish¬
ment of the new Programs Department. Under the leadership
of Ms. Lynne Kurylo, this department brought together the
Creative Arts, Public Programs, Continuing Education, Gardiner
Museum programming, and volunteer program development
units into an integrated operation. The plan also spawned a
Public Programs / 35
number of new interdepartmental working groups designed to
enhance public programming.
This past year saw the Members’ Volunteer Committee, un¬
der the very able leadership of Mrs. C. B. Loewen, further its
partnership as a formally constituted Museum department by
integrating its finances and financial reporting systems with
those of the ROM. The group’s contribution to institution-wide
coordinated program planning is also acknowledged through
its contribution to the initiation of the Gardiner Museum Pro¬
gram Committee and the streamlining of the MVC’s multifa¬
ceted program development process.
A number of Museum projects were assisted through grants
from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services
for the funding of one-year contract positions for curatorial
departments, public programming units, the Board Office, the
Development Office, and Membership Services. The federal
Department of Communications provided grants to assist with
the documentation of collections in the Department of Eth¬
nology and with the provision of outreach services to sister
institutions across Canada. The Ontario Ministry of Culture and
Communication provided partial assistance for a one-year in¬
tern in the Publicity Unit of the Public Relations Department
and continued its special assistance to the Museum’s outreach
programs.
EDUCATION SERVICES
Ronald Miles, Head
It was a year of changes in staff complement, programs and
services, and departmental structure and processes.
Staff Both the Discovery Gallery coordinator and the art pro¬
grams coordinator were replaced, because the incumbents
were promoted out of the department. The Creative Arts studio
supervisor became a permanent position, and a bilingual
teacher was hired on a full-time contract. Three bilingual teach¬
ers, whose contributions will be greatly appreciated, were
added to the part-time staff; four experienced part-time teach¬
ers, whose services will be greatly missed, took their leave of
the department because of family moves or a return to studies.
Fortunately, an experienced corps of ROM Volunteers assisted
with many of the department’s programs. Finally, the seconded
teacher left after only one year of her two-year term, because
she was promoted within her own school board.
Programs and Services The department had a very successful
year, providing services to 156 181 students and teachers. The
program for the festival dinosaurs served 26 312 persons,
mostly students in kindergarten to grade three — a group to
which the department does not normally provide direct teach¬
ing service. For the first time this decade, the department did
not provide resource support for school groups visiting a spe¬
cial exhibition, Let's Play Ball , because the exhibition did not
have a direct relationship to curriculum.
The three visual arts school-visit topics that were introduced
this year were very popular, and, after review by an advisory
group from the North York Board of Education, they were
redefined and the number of offerings was expanded to eight.
The Creative Arts programs had a major increase in the number
of adult registrants, and the Continuing Education program
experienced great success with new offerings. The Discovery
Gallery introduced interactive computer programs and an in¬
novative native storytelling unit. An experimental program for
general visitors was tested by members of the teaching staff
during the March school break, and it was recommended for
implementation on weekends and holidays. Negotiations with
the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Sigma Xi Scientific
Fraternity, the Faculty of Education at the University of To¬
ronto, and the Ontario Science Centre took place to develop
new programs for the professional development of school
teachers, using the Museum’s resources.
Organization and Operations Two units of the department
were transferred to the newly established Programs Depart¬
ment. The Creative Arts unit, with its major component the
Saturday Morning Club, ended its fifty-year association with
Education Services. The Continuing Education unit, with its
range of offerings for adults, absorbed the twenty-year-old FO-

ROM program for seniors, as the unit joined the Programs
Department. Education Services is now responsible for in-
house school visits (except those at the Planetarium), the Dis¬
covery Gallery, and professional development programs for
school teachers.
Technological changes were developed to improve com¬
munications with the educational system and to link more
closely the providers of school services at the ROM. An elec¬
tronic bulletin board system, computerized support for the
registration process, and use of the fax machine will improve
our operations tremendously.

Thomas R. Clarke, Head
Among the highlights of the past year was the very successful
public show “Death of the Dinosaurs,” presented as part of
the ROM’s festival dinosaurs. After many years of very effective
service, Mr. John Kenny, senior producer, resigned to follow
other career opportunities. His creativity and leadership will
be sorely missed.
Star Theatre Programs Public Shows.- Five programs were
presented, including three new productions: “Mars: The Jour¬
ney Begins,” “Planets, Stars, and Galaxies,” “Death of the Di¬
nosaurs,” “Cosmic Questions,” and “Spaceship Earth." School
Shows: Six different curriculum-related school shows were
available during the year for children in kindergarten to grade
two, grades three to four, five to six, seven to ten, and ten to
twelve. Alternative Programming: “Laser Sixties” and “Laser
Floyd” shared the summer schedule and were replaced by
“Light Waves” in fall 1988. This program was supplemented
by “Laser Xmas” over the holiday period. “Laser Beatles” and
“Laser Floyd” were brought back to boost sagging attendance
until “Modern Rock" opened in June 1989.
Attendance Public show attendance increased 19.1 per cent
to 158 003 for 937 shows, on the strength of the very popular
dinosaur show. That of school shows grew 11.5 per cent to
59 496 for 438 shows. Laser shows did very poorly, declining
23-9 per cent to 71 270 for 455 shows. Total star theatre atten¬
dance was 295 207 — up 2.2 per cent from last year.
Improvements and Technical Development The computer
graphic system was upgraded with a 386 machine, a targa
graphics board, and improved software. Mr. Tom Wujec, pro¬
ducer, made considerable progress in developing software to
make slides that appear to create square rooms in the dome.
The theatre sound system was improved with subwoofers and
new equalization. An FM microphone now permits lecturers to
go out into the audience while speaking. The unused cloak¬
room was redesigned to create a multipurpose room, a space
ideal for meetings and presentations for up to thirty-six people.
Because of the failure of a key electrical component, the Zeiss
projector had to be dismantled in September 1988 for repairs
to its polar slip ring. Staff supported the development of the
audio-visual components for the exhibition Let's Play Ball and
maintained all the audio-visual equipment in the galleries.
Teaching and Lecturing Ten special lecture demonstrations
were given to 862 postsecondary students. On 41 occasions
the star theatre was used for courses and demonstrations to
various groups. A total of 17 early evening star talks drew 1498
Cubs, Scouts, and Guides, and 19 stargazing workshops at¬
tracted 953 participants. Mr. Ian McGregor and Mr. Philip
Mozel, educators, conducted 3 multisession courses, as part of
the Continuing Education program. In addition, staff organized
and conducted a nine-session astronomy course for the series
“Living and Learning in Retirement” at Glendon College, York
University, Toronto.
Other Public Service The astronomical information line con¬
tinued to serve about 1000 callers a month, with about 36
messages over the year. Staff were involved with 22 lectures,
53 media events, and about 300 documented nonroutine re¬
sponses for assistance on a variety of astronomical matters. A
total of 24 loans involving 467 items were made of slides or
other visual materials.
MEMBERS’ VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE
Susanne Loewen, President
The Members’ Volunteer Committee focused on running its
ventures professionally and smoothly and on close cooperation
with the other departments in the division. A specially ap¬
pointed MVC financial committee recommended that the MVC
merge its two main accounts and move all its monies into the
ROM. Because MVC fees will henceforth be considered dona¬
tions to the ROM, tax receipts will be issued for them. Ac¬
counting and budgeting will be made easier as well.
The ROM Volunteer Committee handled over 150 requests
for volunteer services from various departments. With 75 new
members, the ROM Volunteers now number about 400. Dr. T.
Cuyler Young, Jr., director, presented the first annual ROM
Volunteer Service Awards. Twenty-eight volunteers received
distinctive recognition pins, to honour ten and fifteen years of
continuous service to the ROM. A further eighty-six received
personalized certificates for five to nine years’ service. The
Staff-Volunteer Manual, a compendium of staff and volunteer
rights and responsibilities and practical knowledge, was dis¬

ROM Travel celebrated its fifteenth year of organizing special
trips for members by having all its 1989 trips sold out by 15
April — a new record. There were major cultural trips to Egypt,
India, Turkey, and Ireland; natural science adventures to the
Queen Charlotte Islands and Tanzania; and a walking trip
through the Swiss-Italian lakes. Three short “Getaway” week¬
ends completed the year. The committee gave $46 800 to the
Future Fund Today — ROM Endowment.
The ROM Reproductions Shop had a very successful second
year of operation. In October 1988 promissory notes totalling
$31 000 were repaid, and in May 1989 $50 000 was donated to
the Museum for acquisitions. The over 150 reproductions on
sale also serve to make the ROM collections more widely
known.
The Docent Committee toured over thirty-three thousand
people through the galleries. French tours are now given three
times a week by the Guides du ROM. Special group tours raised
over $16 000 for the Museum. The ROM Guides initiated a
popular children’s birthday party tour, and, in cooperation with
curators and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the
docents developed “hands-on” tours for the visually impaired.
The committee offered fall and spring Canadiana Luncheon
Tours, a fourth series of “Coffee with the Curators,” and the
program “Cocktails with the Curators,” previewing the new
Samuel European Galleries.
Once again ROMBus day excursions to museums and points
of interest around Toronto were completely sold out. ROM-
Walks, given twice weekly during the summer months, contin¬
ued to attract new audiences. ROMFocus brought slide
programs of the collections to those who cannot visit the Mu¬
seum. A major project was the Baseball Bash, a party sponsored
Public Programs / 37
and organized by the MVC to complement and publicize the
exhibition Let's Play Ball.
At the annual meeting the MVC donated $60 000 to the Fu¬
ture Fund, of which $10 000 was specially allocated to the Ed¬
win and Suzanne Goodman Trust, in honour of Mr. Goodman’s
retirement as chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Bishop White Committee The committee made a $500 000
pledge to the Bishop White Chair in the Far Eastern Depart¬
ment and contributed $4000 to the H. H. Mu Library of Far
Eastern An and $3000 to the Bishop White Endowment Fund.
The monies were raised from the fall lecture series, presented
in cooperation with the Textile Endowment Committee; a one-
day seminar; and the ever-popular Sai Woo luncheon. The
Friends of the Far East were honoured at a reception this
spring in the newly opened John David and Signy Eaton Coun.
Textile Endowment Committee The spring lecture series
“Fibres, Fabrics, and Fashion” was very successful, as was the
joint venture with the Bishop White Committee. Highlights
included a lecture on Molyneux by Diana de Marly, noted En¬
glish fashion historian and author. The Textile Endowment
Fund now stands at over $118 000.
OUTREACH SERVICES
David A. Young, Head
This year, Outreach Services set the following objectives: to
ensure, within the limits of available funding, that everyone in
Ontario, regardless of geographic location or socio-economic
circumstance, has some kind and degree of access to the cul¬
tural and educational resources of the ROM; to assist Ontario
museums, libraries, community leaders, and school boards by
providing access to ROM resources for their local clientele; to
enhance the quality of life of citizens of Ontario by providing
them with increased access to ROM resources.
The department’s travelling exhibits, school programs, and
speakers’ bureau served 635 136 people in 158 Ontario cities
and towns and 74 775 people in other Canadian provinces, for
a total of 709 911 people, up twenty-three per cent over last
year.
The department's important project for the year was the
complete transformation of the resource box program. Ap¬
proximately one hundred resource boxes were revised, up¬
dated, and repackaged in durable Pelican cases of moulded
plastic, thus making that program, once restricted to Metro¬
politan Toronto schools, available to schools across the prov¬
ince. A second major thrust was the complete refurbishing of
all existing travelling exhibitions and programs, and the estab¬
lishing of a new set of procedures for regular preventive
maintenance.
The department took on the responsibility for the booking
and international circulation of the ROM exhibition Into the
Heart of Africa. Two venues in Canada and two in the United
States were confirmed.
As part of the department’s coordination of Museum-wide
French language services, the report “Final Plan for the Imple¬
mentation of the French Language Services Act” was com¬
pleted. Applications for funds resulted in grants of $277 500
from the Secretary of State and over $400 000 from the prov¬
ince. The Exhibits Division commissioned a study entitled “Au¬
dience Research for French in Exhibits,” which was completed
in December 1988. This research was shared with other agen¬
cies of the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications.
The ROM’s multicultural project introduced a number of im¬
portant initiatives. Woods Gordon was commissioned to con¬
duct the Chinese-Canadian Community Audience Research
Project, a joint venture between the ROM and the Art Gallery
of Ontario, Toronto, with funds provided by the Ministry of
Culture and Communications. The ministry also provided a
grant of $10 900 for the Museum to develop a training strategy

cian, cleaning a display case in the trav¬

for ROM staff on intercultural communication. In a cooperative
project with the Race Relations Unit of the Metropolitan To¬
ronto Housing Authority, sixty-six people from low-income
housing participated in a two-part program with the ROM.
Work began on the development of a series of small travelling
exhibits and a school case on the experience of immigrants in
Ontario.
Among the several new offerings were two “In the Galleries”
programs on Chinese-Canadian culture, which attracted 575
visitors, and a program presented in collaboration with the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch, U.W.A.C., To¬
ronto, which attracted 500 people. A bilingual course, “Wine
Regions of France,” held on two separate evenings, was fully
subscribed. A month-long series of events in June celebrated
Italian culture in Toronto.
PROGRAMS AND PUBLIC RELATIONS
DEPARTMENT
Eleanor R. Goldhar, Head
The festival dinosaurs attracted over 248 000 people, many of
whom were first-time visitors. The Museum also had the dis¬
tinction of being the first institution in Ontario to host the
extremely popular robotic dinosaurs. The March school break
programs, sponsored by Ault Foods, attracted 46 000 guests,
who participated in a wide range of interesting activities. To
serve the ROM’s growing audience and ensure consistency of
service seven days a week, the Visitor Services Unit hired a
full-time supervisor with primary responsibilities on weekends.
The ROM received some excellent media coverage, in par¬
ticular a nine-page colour article, “Toronto’s Crown Jewel —
The Royal Ontario Museum,” 'm National Geographic Traveler
Magazine's winter 1988/1989 issue and a six-page colour
feature on the exhibition Dinosaurs Past and Present in
Maclean’s magazine. Other exhibitions and events were also
very well received by the media. Work on a targeted mailing
list garnered travel publicity in major flight, rail, bus, hotel,
and city magazines, as well as travel sections of news¬
papers throughout the United States and Canada.
The Marketing Unit created a series of successful campaigns
for special exhibitions, developing new initiatives in television,
radio, outdoor advertising, and retail promotions. Over 3 mil¬
lion print pieces were produced in support of galleries, pro¬
grams, exhibitions, tourism development, shops, and audience
development. Separate strategies were created for the Mc¬
Laughlin Planetarium and the George R. Gardiner Museum of
Ceramic Art. Particular emphasis on tourism and group sales
marketing resulted in continued growth of that sector. Re¬
search was completed on the effectiveness of the marketing
campaign for Treasures of the Holy Land: Ancient Art from
the Israel Museum, with results confirming the success of the
strategy in attracting an audience in excess of original atten¬
dance projections. A major thrust of the unit this year was to
consolidate design in print production and advertising to
streamline the image of the ROM and increase the impact of
its marketing.
Over 107 000 visitors attended programming events at the
ROM. The many original programs designed for dinosaurs ac¬
counted for over 25 000 of these participants. ROM REP Cin¬
ema continued its previous success with new programs for
French-speaking, East European, and Italian communities.
Documentary film and video offerings supported the seniors
program and exhibitions. As part of the unit’s mandate to sup¬
port local community activities, the International Choral Fes¬
tival was added to the list of special events hosted by the ROM
and premiered as the first public program in the new John
David and Signy Eaton Court.
The department was instrumental in founding the Audience
Research Consortium with the Art Gallery of Ontario, the On¬
tario Science Centre, and the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. The
consortium secured funding for the first two years of a three-
year joint audience research project that will evaluate the qual¬
itative and quantitative experience of visitors at all four insti¬
tutions. The goal of the research is to develop long-range
program plans aimed at audience development in the nontra-

The Royal Ontario Museum
We have examined the balance sheet of The Royal Ontario
Museum as at June 30, 1989 and the statements of financial
operations of the Operating Fund, The Future Fund Today and
Allied Trusts and ROM Galleries Campaign for the year then
ended. Our examination was made in accordance with gener¬
ally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such
tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Museum as at June 30, 1989 and the
results of its operations and the changes in its financial position
for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting
principles described in note 1 to the financial statements ap¬
plied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1989
1. Summary of accounting policies
The financial statements of The Royal Ontario Museum
(“the Museum”) have been prepared by management in
accordance with accounting principles generally followed
by similar organizations. The following summary of ac¬
counting policies is set forth to facilitate the understand¬
ing of these financial statements.
(a) Fund Accounting —
In order to ensure observance of the limitations and
restrictions placed on the use of resources available
to the Museum, the accounts of the Museum are
maintained in accordance with the principles of fund
accounting. Accordingly, resources are classified for
accounting and reporting purposes into funds. These
funds are held in accordance with the objectives spec¬
ified by the donors or in accordance with directives
issued by the Board of Trustees. Transfers between
funds are made when it is considered appropriate
and authorized by the Board of Trustees. For financial
reporting purposes, the accounts have been classified
into the following three groupings:
(i) Operating Fund — This includes the day-to-day
operating transactions of the Museum. It also
includes amounts received by the Museum that
are designated by the Board of Trustees to be
restricted to certain expenditures of an operat¬
ing nature. The restricted funds include the
following:
Grants —
Funds received from various governments
and private agencies to finance specific re¬
search projects.
Board restricted funds —
46 / Financial Statements
Funds for general or special purposes which
have been reserved in accordance with di¬
rectives issued by the Board of Trustees.
Departmental reserves —
Funds received from cross-appointment
teaching and other activities of staff in the
Curatorial and Curatorial Service depart¬
ments to assist in the financing of specific
expenditures.
Museum expansion reserve —
Funds received and receivable from the
Province of Ontario and the private sector
to create new gallery space for the Museum
below the Planetarium Plaza.
Capital replacement reserve —
Funds which have been set aside for major
capital improvements and replacements.
Reference is made to note 3 for details of the
restricted funds.
(ii) The Future Fund Today and Allied Trusts — This
includes amounts received and pledged to create
an endowment fund and to expend funds to
maintain the collections, scientific research and
expeditions at a world class level. Development
costs are allocated to The Future Fund Today
and Allied Trusts and to the ROM Galleries Cam¬
paign based on their respective fund raising
efforts.
(iii) ROM Galleries Campaign — This includes amounts
received and pledged from the Campaign and
expenditures incurred to design and install ex¬
hibits in the Museum’s gallery spaces.
(b) Basis of recording revenues and expenditures —
Donations, bequests and capital project grants are
recorded when pledged at their estimated realizable
value. Grants for operations are recorded as revenues
when the related expenditures are recorded. Invest¬
ment income and other revenues are recorded when
earned. Expenditures are recorded when materials
are used or services rendered.
(c) Marketable securities —
Investments are recorded at cost. The gain or loss on
the sale of securities is based on the average carrying
value of the securities sold.
(d) Inventories —
Inventories, which consist mainly of publications,
book and gift shop items held for sale and supplies,
are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
(e) Deferred costs —
Costs of exhibitions are deferred until the exhibitions
are opened to the public and then are charged to
operations over the period of the exhibition.
(f) Fixed assets —
The land, buildings, collections and contents are each
carried in the accounts at a nominal value of $1.
Equipment, furniture and fixtures relating to the Mu¬
seum’s revenue producing operations are capitalized
and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the
asset. Construction costs and other fixed asset addi¬
tions are expensed.
Artifacts and specimens which are acquired by gift
during the year are recorded as donation revenue at
their estimated appraisal values (1989 — 11,212 thou¬
sand; 1988 — 1795 thousand). The cost or appraised
value of gifts, artifacts and specimens acquired during
the year is expensed.
(g) Expenditures are reported in the statement of finan¬
cial operations of the operating fund on a functional
basis. Expenditures by category comprise:

agreement for the food services operations, under which
the Museum receives all revenues from sales and pays a
management fee to the operator; formerly the Museum
received as revenue a percentage of the sales from the
previous operator.
Equipment, furniture and fixtures relating to the Mu¬
seum services activities are recorded at cost, net of accu¬
mulated depreciation of $13.

4. Donated services
The Museum utilizes a number of volunteers to perform
various services on behalf of the Museum. The value of
these donated services is not recorded in the accounts.
5. Pension plan
The Museum has established a pension plan to provide
benefits to its employees and pensioners. An actuarial val¬
uation of the plan as at January 1, 1988 prepared by the
Museum’s actuary indicated that the plan had no un¬
funded liability.
6. Related party transactions
As a result of the operational integration of the Museum
and the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (“the
Gardiner Museum”):
(i) admissions revenues received by the Museum and the
Gardiner Museum entitle visitors to visit both
museums;
(ii) the Museum pays for certain expenditures on behalf
of the Gardiner Museum for which it is reimbursed
at cost; and
(iii) the Museum provides certain administrative and
other services to the Gardiner Museum at no cost.
